Enough Fiber

Everyone talks about having enough fiber in their diet, but often we do not understand exactly why the importance of fibre, it is because it has an major influence on the digestion process from start to finish.

Fiber demands food to be chewed more thoroughly, this slows down the eating process and helps contribute to a feeling of being full.

Fiber makes your food feel more satisfying, usually because the contents of the stomach are bulkier and stay there longer.

Fiber also slows the digestion process down and absorbs the glucose (sugar) in food more slowly into the bloodstream, this can keep blood sugar on a more even level.

Fiber is broken down in the colon (the main part of the large intestine) by bacteria and the simple organic acids produced by this help nourish the lining of the colon.
