Fiber ?

Fiber is an indigestible carbohydrate

that has several important functions in
the body.
The two different forms of fiber are
soluble and insoluble. Each plays an
important role in digestion and disease
prevention.
Importance of
Fiber
Reduce Cholesterol Levels
Viscous Fibers lower serum cholesterol by reducing
the absorption of dietary cholesterol.
viscous fibers complex with bile acids, which are
compounds manufactured by the liver from
cholesterol that are necessary for the proper digestion
of fat.
After complexion with bile acids, the compounds are
removed from circulation and do not make it back to
the liver.
As a result, the liver must use additional cholesterol to
manufacture new bile acids. Bile acids are necessary
for normal digestion of fat.
Soluble fiber may also reduce the amount of
cholesterol manufactured by the liver.
Reduce Cholesterol Levels
Reduce Heart Disease Risk
Soluble fiber lowers LDL cholesterol. Thus,
reduces hypertension and inflammation to
prevent heart attacks.
Regulates Blood Sugar Levels
Insoluble fiber is helpful in reducing the risk
of acquiring type-2 diabetes.
Soluble fiber assists in treating diabetes by
slows down the absorption rate of sugar,
which keeps insulin levels balanced.
Viscous fibers also help normalize blood
glucose levels by slowing the rate at which
food leaves the stomach and by delaying the
absorption of glucose following a meal.
Viscous fibers also increase insulin
sensitivity. As a result, high intake of viscous
fibers play a role in the prevention and
treatment of type 2 diabetes.
 Weight Loss
In addition, by slowing the rate at which
food leaves the stomach, viscous fibers
promote a sense of satiety, or fullness,
after a meal, which helps to prevent
overeating and weight gain.
Foods high in fiber usually contain less
calories per volume of food as refined
foods or foods without fiber.
high-fiber foods takes more time to
chew. Thus, allows more time for your
stomach and prevent you from
overeating.
The bulk, high-fiber foods are more
massive and fill your appetite for a
longer amount of time than refined
carbohydrates.
 Intestine Health
Fiber makes your solid waste
easier to eliminate by
enlarging & softening,
thereby reducing
constipation, symptoms of
irritable bowel syndrome.
Prevents Colon Disease & Hemorrhoids

high-fiber diet can reduce your risk of hemorrhoids,

diverticular disease and other colon diseases.
Promoting Bowel Regularity
Fermentable fiber are "friendly" bacteria that live in the
large intestine. The fermentation of dietary fiber in the
large intestine produces a short-chain fatty acid called
butyric acid, which serves as the primary fuel for the cells of
the large intestine and helps maintain the health and
integrity of the colon.
Two other short-chain fatty acids produced during
fermentation, propionic and acetic acid are used as fuel by
the cells of the liver and muscles. In addition, propionic acid
may be responsible, at least in part, for the cholesterol-
lowering properties of fiber.
Fermentable fibers plays an important role in the immune
system by preventing pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria
from surviving in the intestinal tract.
As is the case with insoluble fiber, fibers that are not
fermentable in the large intestine help maintain bowel
regularity by increasing the bulk of the feces and decreasing
the transit time of fecal matter through the intestines.
Bowel regularity is associated with a decreased risk for
colon cancer and hemorrhoids (when the hemorrhoids are
related to straining and constipation).

What are the benefits of regular consumption
of Dietary Fiber?
The general function of fiber is to maintain
normal digestive health. Fiber intake has also
been shown to support normal gastrointestinal
health and regularity, thus it is a natural way to
promote normal colon health.
Fiber rich foods & supplements may help with
weight management because they can help
provide a feeling of fullness when consumed.
Adequate fiber intake also has been shown to
help maintain blood sugar levels already within
the normal range.
 Nutrilite fiber
Indigestion and Constipation: The most important use of
fiber is in digesting food. Fibrous substances add considerable
bulk to the stools. The stools become big and soft, thus
making it easier to pass through the intestine. Eating fiber
rich foods can cure constipation. Maintain normal digestive
health (Properly Digest Your Meals). Support normal
gastrointestinal health and regularity, Promote normal colon
health. Thus easily digest the food. Helps in bowel
movement complications.
Heart Ailments: Foods that contain soluble fiber like barley, beans, lentils,
etc have good effect on cholesterol level and normal functioning of the
heart. Citrus fruits have similar effect on human body system. Provides
benefit in the blood circulation of the human body. Reduces the quantity of
the cholesterol in the human body so this is very good diet for the human
being. These fibers just go to the intestines and absorb the cholesterol ratio
from the human body. A research study showed that by eating a 10 gram of
fiber daily you can be safe from the diseases of heart and blood pressures. It
can safe you from the diseases like heart attack and stroke.
 Nutrilite fiber
Cancer: Medical experts suggest that fibrous food helps in
protection against colon cancer, breast cancer and ovarian
cancer. Significant research is yet to confirm these findings.

Diabetes: Normalized blood sugar level is mandatory for

reducing the risk of diabetes. Diabetic people have found
subsequent reduction in their glucose levels through intake of
fiber rich foods. Help maintain blood sugar levels already within
the normal range.

Obesity: High fiber foods are more bulky than other food items. Taken
under dietary expert guidance, fiber foods give the feeling of a full stomach
and curb the urge to eat more. Eating these foods in small quantity you can
feel satisfied and you do not eat more foods in order to satisfy your
appetite. This helps people who would like to reduce their weight and
control their eating habits without staying hungry! The fiber also decrease
the utilization of fat from your meals and you do not get extra fats in your
food.
 Nutrilite fiber
Toxins: Fiber speeds up the passing of food through the
intestinal tract, thus preventing constipation or diverticulosis
disorders. Toxic waste materials are also easily bundled out of
the system through soft and easy stools.

Chronic Illnesses: Commonly used by patients. Include fibrous

substances in your diet intake and prevent host of chronic
illnesses from affecting your body.
