Dietary Fiber’s Correlation to Digestion News You Can Really Use!

What is Dietary Fiber? Complex carbohydrates found in foods the body cannot digest

Two Types of Dietary Fiber: Soluble – dissolves in water Insoluble – cannot be dissolved in water

Soluble Fiber . . . Found in some fruit, beans & whole grains like oats and bran Helps control cholesterol levels and diabetes

Insoluble Fiber . . . Found in fruit, vegetables, wheat bran, whole wheat & some beans Helps the body move food through the digestive tract & aids in the prevention of some cancers (Rectal & Colon)

Functions of Dietary Fiber: Prevents constipation Absorbs water and aids in a feeling of fullness (feel fuller longer - you may eat less & control your weight)

Helps lower the “LDL” or bad cholesterol (this will reduce a person’s risk of heart disease) Lowers blood sugar levels (this may allow diabetics to reduce their need for insulin)

High fiber diets are generally low-fat Prevents “Diverticulosis” (occurs when bulging pockets form in the intestines and become inflamed) Helps prevent “Hemorrhoids”

Assignment . . . Open a word document and make two columns (Label soluble & insoluble) Next, classify the foods (dietary fiber) that you have eaten in the past 48 hours Do you need to eat more fiber? Why or Why Not?
