NUTRITION TIP OF THE WEEK

-FIBER-
Fiber is divided into two general categories; water soluble and water insoluble.

Soluble fiber lowers cholesterol and also lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, and some researchers find that increasing fiber decreases the body’s need for insulin. Diets high in insoluble fiber (from whole grains) associate with protection from adult-onset diabetes.
Insoluble fiber softens stool, which helps move it through the intestinal tract in less time. For this reason, insoluble fiber is partially effective as a treatment for constipation. The reduction in “transit time” has also been thought to partially explain the link between a high fiber diet and a reduced risk of colon cancer.
Where to find Fiber

Whole grains are particularly high in insoluble fiber. Oats, barley, beans, fruit (but not fruit juice), and some vegetables contain significant amounts of both forms of fiber and are the best sources of soluble fiber. The best source of fiber, by far, is flaxseed not flaxseed oil, regardless of packaging claims.
