Dietary Fiber
Dietary
fiber is a type of carbohydrate found in
cereals, grains, nuts, lentils, peas and vegetables. Dietary fiber based on its
physical properties is classified in to soluble and insoluble fiber (resistant
starch). It cannot be digested by our body enzymes and reaches the large bowel
undigested. It gets fermented by bacteria in the large intestine and break down
in to methane, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and short-chain
fatty acids. It supports the
growth of friendly bacteria needed to maintain a healthy gut, slows down the digestion
time and makes one feel fuller for longer. It also helps to control blood
sugar levels by slow absorption of glucose
in to the blood
stream. It helps in maintaining healthy
heart by reducing absorption of cholesterol.
