Fibers

Fiber cellulose is a type of complex carbohydrate found in the cell walls of plants. There are two

main types: soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and helps manage blood

sugar, while insoluble fiber adds bulk to the stool, aiding digestion.

Functions of fiber include promoting bowel regularity, supporting heart health, and helping

control blood sugar levels. It's commonly found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.

Benefits of a high-fiber diet include improved digestive health, lower cholesterol levels, and

reduced risk of heart disease and diabetes. Additionally, fiber can contribute to weight

management by promoting a feeling of fullness.

Remember to drink plenty of water when increasing fiber intake to prevent constipation.
