Are you health conscious? Then, do you know how important fibers in your daily intake? What really dietary **fiber is? Now, let us all read this:
According to wikipedia: Dietary fibers are the indigestible portion of plant foods that move food through the digestive system, absorbing water and making defecation easier. Dietary fiber consists of non-starch polysaccharides such as cellulose and many other plant components such as dextrins, inulin, lignin, waxes, chitins, pectins, beta-glucans and oligosaccharides.
Fiber is really important, as it is the part of the food that cannot be broken down by the enzymes in the digestive tract. Fiber passes through without being absorbed. It also have intestinal cleansing action, which keeps the digestive tract clean.
Benefits:
A diet rich in fiber is
protective against a wide variety of diseases, including heart disease, cancer
of the colon and rectum, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, phlebitis and obesity.
