What is the difference between soluble fiber and insoluble fiber?
There are two kinds of fiber: soluble and insoluble, and most sources of fiber contain a mixture of both types. Both types of fiber help your body, but in different ways, so it is best to eat a variety of high-fiber foods.
SOLUBLE FIBER absorbs water, becomes bulky in the stomach and works throughout the intestinal tract. Soluble fiber promotes good intestinal health by increasing bowel motility and enhances transit through the intestinal tract, reducing the incidence of constipation. Recent research suggests that increasing soluble fiber in the diet plays an important role in decreasing the incidence of colon cancer, controlling blood cholesterol levels, improving diabetes and aiding weight control.
INSOLUBLE FIBER absorbs little water and adds bulk only in the lower intestine (colon). Although insoluble fiber is less effective than soluble fiber at promoting good bowel health, insoluble fiber is still important in your diet because it improves the transit time necessary to move fecal material through the colon.
