Dietary fiber is a substance of plant origin that cannot be digested or absorbed in the digestive tract. And although it is in no way absorbed by our body, it has a positive effect on its condition. It is not without reason that it is said that it is the fiber that acts like a brush in the intestines – “sweeps away” residual food residues. What else can fiber do?
Soluble and insoluble fiber
Dietary fiber is divided into soluble and insoluble in water. Composed of insoluble fiber (non-digestible) include cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose. The intestinal peristalsis is stimulated, water is absorbed, and the stool volume increases and it facilitates defecation.
