THE ROLE IF FIBER IN DIGESTION
Fiber is essential for a healthy digestive system. It adds bulk to food, which helps it move smoothly through your gut, preventing constipation and supporting regular bowel movements.
Beyond digestion, fiber plays multiple roles:
1. Helps lower cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease.
2. Regulates blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar.
3. Feeds the “good bacteria” in your gut, improving overall gut health and immunity.
4. Keeps you fuller for longer, aiding weight management.
Where to find fiber?
Fill your plate with:
✔️ Beans and lentils
✔️ Fresh fruits and vegetables
✔️ Whole grains like oats, brown rice, and whole wheat bread
✔️ Nuts and seeds
Aim for a balanced diet with enough fiber every day to keep your digestive system healthy and your body energized.
