Which Fiber?

What kind of Fiber is contained in different foods? What foods contain the most?

SOLUBLE FIBER: pectins, gums, mucilage, galactomannansINSOLUBLE FIBER : cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin (not a carbohydrate)
FOODS: legumes and fruit FOODS: whole grains, vegetables
FUNCTIONS: (gel formation)FUNCTIONS: (retain water)
Gastric emptying times slow down (> sense of satiety);they increase the fecal mass ;
They slow down / reduce the absorption of carbohydrates and cholesterol .accelerate intestinal transit;
They reduce the contact times with harmful or toxic substances.

Benefits of Regular Fiber-Rich Food Consumption

What benefits can be derived from the regular consumption of Fiber-rich foods?

  1. Transcription during intestinal transit of foods, with reduced unwanted fermentations.
  2. The slowdown of the gastric transit time reduced the absorption rate of the sugars taken together with the Fiber (reduced glycemic index).
  3. Increased fecal mass, which facilitates removal functions (cellulose).
  4. Increase in the food satiety index.
  5. Reduction of cholesterol levels (in particular for pectin and soluble fibers).
  6. Reduction of carcinogenic and mutagenic substances (and heavy metals) in the intestinal tract.
  7. Enrichment of the gut flora with useful micro-organisms.
  8. Strengthening the wall of the entire digestive tract, with the prevention of diverticulosis (degeneration of the intestinal wall).
  9. Prevention of colon cancer and gastric ulcer.
  10. Reduction of the assimilation of intake calories due to the “entrapment” of the calories themselves in fibrous structures.
