We really don't have to become a scientist to recognize that high fiber foods go a long way toward helping you fill full and satisfied after a meal.
As studies have shown fiber effect's on appetite control and obesity are now being conducted. Fiber rich foods take longer to digest and may help tame hunger between meals and even make you less hungry the next time around. There's much more to fiber than that. It appears that a high- fiber diet may have a positive response on cancer of the colon and rectum, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, in addition to effecting intestinal regularity and diverticular disease. As there are many of beneficial effects due to the water holding capacity of one type of fiber called insoluble fiber, especially the insoluble fiber from wheat and corn bran. While fiber does not dissolve in water, it does have the effect of drawing more water into the intestinal tract and keep it there. With more water means softer, bulkier and heavier waste material, which move more quickly through the digestive tract and help prevent constipation. Therefore, this water- holding capacity is thought to be one of the chemical properties that influences cancer risk. As it may dilute the concentration of carcinogens. While another property maybe fiber's capacity to bind carcinogens, thus masking them unable to influence the body. Another type of fiber----- Soluble fiber was ignored largely because it's role in the diet wasn't clear. But it has been shown to have a very positive effects on the digestion and absorption processes and may help control blood St levels in people with diabetes mellitus. In addition, research confirms repeatedly that when soluble fiber is included in a low- fat diet, that may help lower blood cholesterol a small but significant amount. This effect seem to be more pronounced in individuals with high levels of blood cholesterol. While some of these benefits may result from the ability of soluble fibers to dissolve in aqueous or watery solutions, thereby forming gels that slow the digestion and absorption of some substances. Although despite these good health benefits, the daily dietary fiber intake of the average American has decresed since the turn of the century. As there is no established recommended R.D.A for dietary fiber, nutrition experts are currently suggesting individuals to consume between 25 and 30 grams.
