Dietary Fiber

Fiber Fiber: tough, fibrous cell walls of plants Human digestive enzymes can not break down fiber, so it passes through the digestive system unchanged Most fiber is not considered a source of energy

Dietary Fiber Helps digestive system work properly Helps protect body from heart disease and cancer Fiber in foods: Only in plant sources – Fruits – Vegetables – Whole grain products – Nuts, seeds, and dry beans – Peas and lentils

Fiber 1.The average American does not get enough FIBER in their diets. 2.The National Cancer Institute recommends that the average person gets GRAMS of fiber every day.

4.Fiber is important because it attracts WATER to the INTESTINES and helps move food through our systems faster. You have to have water along with fiber or it is not as effective. 5.Benefits of fiber include a lowered risk of DIVERTICULITUS, HEMORRHOIDS and COLON or RECTAL CANCER.

6. The two types of fiber and the main functions they perform:

7.Fiber only comes from PLANT food sources. You CANNOT get fiber from animal food sources. 8.Foods that are high in fiber include: Fruits and Veggies (Especially the Skins!) Whole Grains Legumes/Beans Bran 9.Ways to increase fiber in the diet include: Add Whole Grains (At least 3 oz. per day) Use Whole Wheat Flour Eat the Skins of Fruits and Vegetables

10. Label the Wheat Kernel below: A.__ENDOSPERM___ Provides: Starch Protein B.__GERM___ Provides: Unsaturated Fatty Acids “B” Vitamins Vitamin E Iron Zinc Other Trace Minerals C.__Bran___ Provides: Fiber Vitamins Minerals

11.When a product claims that it is “Whole Wheat” or “Whole Grain”, it must use the ENTIRE wheat kernel, or ALL THREE parts. 12.Other products, like white bread and white rice, usually only use the ENDOSPERM, which is the LEAST beneficial part of the wheat kernel. 13.ENRICHED: some of the nutrients that were lost in processing are added back into the product. 14.FORTIFIED: 10% more of the Daily Value for the nutrient is being added.
