Dietary fiber, also known as roughage or bulk, includes the parts of plant foods your body can’t digest or absorb. Unlike other food components, such as fats, proteins or carbohydrates — which your body breaks down and absorbs — fiber isn’t digested by your body. Instead, it passes relatively intact through your stomach, small intestine and colon and out of your body.

Fiber is commonly classified as soluble, which dissolves in water, or insoluble, which doesn’t dissolve. The US diet is comprised mainly 75% Insoluble fiber and 25% Soluble.

• Soluble fiber. This type of fiber dissolves in water to form a gel-like material. It can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels.
• Insoluble fiber. This type of fiber promotes the movement of material through your digestive system and increases stool bulk, so it can be of benefit to those who struggle with constipation or irregular stools.

A high-fiber diet has many benefits. Dietary fiber increases the weight and size of your stool and softens it. A bulky stool is easier to pass, decreasing your chance of constipation and supporting normal bowel movements and overall gut health. In addition to gut health, a high-fiber diet may support heart health by balancing blood pressure and cleansing the body of wastes and toxins reducing the potential for inflammatory responses.

Additional benefits of a high fiber diet include slowing the absorption (reducing transit time from the stomach to the small intestine) of sugar/food and balancing blood sugar levels. Dietary fiber allows for a more controlled insulin release therefore, supporting blood sugar levels. The benefits of blood sugar are also related to weight management. High-fiber foods tend to be more filling than low-fiber foods, so you’re likely to eat less and stay satisfied longer. And high-fiber foods tend to take longer to eat and to be less “energy dense,” which means they have fewer calories for the same volume of food.

Why Fiber is Good for you? What Other Health and Wellness Benefits Can it Provide?

Eating fiber has many benefits for your health. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, the consumption of soluble fiber has been shown to support heart health by balancing your total cholesterol levels. Research has indicated that the digestive process requires bile acids, which are made partly with cholesterol. As your digestion improves (increased daily fiber intake), the liver pulls cholesterol from the blood to create more bile acid, thereby reducing the amount of LDL (bad) cholesterol. The consumption of insoluble fiber has shown to assist in reducing constipation while helping the bodies digestion, elimination and overall protection.

What Other Health and Wellness Benefits Can it Provide?

A high-fiber intake can significantly contribute towards weight management. Fiber fills you up without adding calories (fiber calories are not absorbed by your body) – this can help with weight management and fat burning. A meta-analysis of studies regarding the relationship between fiber and blood sugar levels published in The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine found that increased fiber intake can help balance blood sugar levels during the standard fasting blood glucose test (a test of blood sugar levels after an overnight fast). The article showed that levels of HbA1c also decreased with increased fiber. HbA1c refers too glycated hemoglobin, which occurs when proteins in the blood mix with blood sugar. It is associated with increased risk factors due to long term blood sugar imbalances. Soluble fiber is especially helpful in this regard.

What is the difference between SOLUBLE and INSOLUBLE fibers?

Insoluble fiber (such as hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin) also known as roughage, includes the woody or structural parts of plants. Insoluble fiber works like nature’s broom, helping speed the passage of material through the digestive tract, which assists regularity, reducing constipation and burning calories in the process. Insoluble fibers may assist pH (acidity) balance in the intestines. By keeping an optimal pH in the intestines, insoluble fiber helps reduce some negative effects from the natural digestion process. Good sources of insoluble fiber include whole wheat, whole grains, wheat bran, corn bran, barley, couscous, brown rice, bulgur, seeds, nuts, zucchini, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, carrots, green beans, dark leafy vegetables, and cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, as well as certain fruits, such as apples, raisins and grapes.
