positive properties.

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!
