Food Fibers - Overview
Food fibers, often referred to as dietary fibers, are essential components of plant-based foods that cannot be digested by the human body. They come in two main categories: soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers, found in foods like oats and beans, dissolve in water and can help lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels. Insoluble fibers, found in wheat bran and vegetables, do not dissolve and add bulk to stool, aiding in digestion. Consuming a diet rich in food fibers offers various health benefits, including improved digestive health, weight management, and reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.
