Anti-cholesterol: The soluble fiber aids to lower cholesterol in the blood. This type of fiber prevents the intestinal absorption of cholesterol produced by the bile for the digestion of food. Soluble fiber forms a gel that traps cholesterol that is expelled to the outside without passing into the bloodstream. The liver that needs the cholesterol to form fatty acids, needs to take it from the blood which cuts much of it out of the bloodstream.
Anti-constipation: Constipation is caused by the retention of stool in the bowel and intestine. The insoluble fiber intake helps to increase stool that causes increased peristalsis (the movement of the bowel to push poop out). Also, without the presence of soluble fiber, stool consistency is often too hard, making going number two a number one thing you put off doing. The intake of foods rich in soluble fiber helps to soften the stool and facilitate elimination. Eating foods rich in both types of fiber is the most positive way to avoid constipation.
Anti-diabetic: Eating food rich in fiber helps stabilize blood sugar levels in the blood. Fiber slows the absorption of carbohydrates which helps reduce the typical and sudden sugar highs in the bloodstream in people with diabetes.
Stomachic: The mucilage has the ability to protect internal mucous membranes, so it is helpful to help soothe irritations of the digestive system.
