Food fiber (cell) is also called cleanser of the body.
Dietary fiber promotes the expulsion of toxins from the body, improves intestinal motor function and protects us from constipation, hemorrhoids.
It is especially important for people who are on a diet, because a high-fiber product makes the stomach feel full and efficient, and therefore significantly reduces the risk of overeating.
Fiber is type of a carbohydrate that helps keep our digestive systems healthy.
It is the indigestible parts of plant foods, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, beans and legumes.
There are three different types of fibre which all have different functions and health benefits.
Soluble fibre
Soluble fibre helps to lower cholesterol and stabilise your blood glucose levels.
Soluble fibre is found in fruits, vegetables, oats, barley and legumes.
Insoluble fibre
Insoluble fibre absorbs water to help to soften the contents of our bowels and support regular bowel movements.
Insoluble fibre is found in wholegrain breads and cereals, nuts, seeds, wheat bran and the skin of fruit and vegetables.
Resistant starch
Resistant starch is not digested in the small intestine and instead proceeds to the large intestine where it can assist in the production of good bacteria and improves bowel health.
Resistant starch is found in under ripe bananas, cooked and cooled potato and rice.
