The composite fiber carbohydrate, classified according to their solubility in the fluid. Are plants that are resistant and resistant to digestion. Soluble fibers (pectins, gums, mucilages) are dissolved in a liquid, and to influence the absorption of glucose, lipids and other nutrients. Insoluble fiber (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) which are not soluble in liquids, more involved in the increase in stool weight and reduce the intestinal transit time.
According to the guidelines, an average American should consume 30-38 grams of fiber per day, while women should consume 21-25 grams of fiber per day. However, the actual intake of dietary fiber is much lower than recommended. It is believed that women consume 13 grams and consumption of men is only 17 grams of fiber per day.
Experts believe that the soluble fiber forms a gel in the stomach leads to a rate of slow stomach and better absorption of nutrients. This increases satiety and food intake leads to compromise resulting in a decrease in weight gain. In addition, the fermentation of fiber in the intestine leads to reactions to ultimately reduce cholesterol levels in the blood.
