positive properties.

One of the most popular dietary

fibers: Cellulose.

plant like a skeleton.

An other popular fiber is pectin. You can find it in peels of apples

or in quinces.

Pectin helps to produce jelly. The

body also uses fiber to transform

liquid into a kind of jelly.

Fiber is good for our teeth. Due to their

fibrous structure you have to chew

longer. The resulting increased saliva

bathes the teeth and cleans them.

Bacteria in the mouth produce acid that attacks your teeth. Saliva is

alkaline, so it can buffer the acids and protect the teeth.

By extended chewing we eat much

slower:

Fast fed up with fewer calories - that

prevents obesity in the long run.

Some dietary fiber swell in the stomach, for example psyllium husks. Result: we do not

get hungry again so quickly.

In combination with water some fiber get into a kind of jelly: the digestive enzymes can not access the food directly.Result: carbohydrates are not transformed into

sugar that fast and blood sugar increases more slowly.

Prevent constipation: By the increased

volume of fiber the intestine has a lot

more work to do.

Good in, evil out: to eat many fiber decreases the

pH in the colon. Undesirable intestinal bacteria do

not like that, but the good do so!
