Dietary fiber is the part of a plant that cannot be digested by humans. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble.Your digestive system needs both types to function optimally. What’s the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber? Soluble fiber acts like a sponge in the intestines, absorbing water. It forms a thick gel which lubricates throughout the entire intestinal tract. This makes it easier for waste to pass more quickly through the intestines (bowel motility), which reduces incidences of constipation.Recent research suggests that increasing soluble fiber in the diet may be beneficial for: Lowering cholesterol Decreasing likelihood of colon cancer Slowing the absorption of glucose, improving diabetes Aiding weight control Insoluble fiber acts like a broom sweeping through your digestive system. It absorbs little water but it adds bulk in the lower intestinal tract. Though less effective than soluble fiber in promoting bowel regularity, it is a necessary part of your diet. It aids in moving waste through the colon quickly and since insoluble fiber isn’t digested, it isn’t converted into calories. Insoluble fiber tends to help: Constipation Prevent diverticular disease Slowing the absorption of glucose What are the best sources of soluble and insoluble fiber? Good sources of soluble fiber include: Oatmeal and oat bran Legumes (dried beans, peas and lentils) Fruits and most vegetables Good sources of insoluble fiber include: Whole grains (wheat bran, whole-grain breads) Whole-wheat pasta Fruits and vegetables with edible skins and seeds (apples, pears, strawberries and tomatoes) Psyllium fiber supplements contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Do I need to increase my dietary fiber? Typical Americans consume only 10-15 grams of fiber per day. The National Cancer Institute recommends eating 25-35 grams of fiber daily. Though there is no standard on recommended daily amounts, these numbers demonstrate that most people would benefit from increased fiber intake. You can add up your daily fiber grams to see how you measure up. What are the signs of low fiber or fiber deficiency? There are four main warning signs that may indicate you are not getting enough fiber: Constipation Weight Gain Blood Sugar Fluctuation Nausea & Tiredness Related to Diet Does fiber help you lose weight? Fiber makes you feel full. The fuller you feel, the less likely you are to snack or eat large meals. Also, if a food contains insoluble fiber, that portion is not broken down by your digestive system so it is not converted into calories.
