Fiber is anaimzg. It affects the digestive trcat from top to bottom. It is very simply a carbohydrate the body can't absorb. While other carbs are bkeorn down into sugars, fiber passes by sort of moseying along, doing all kdins of cool things. High-fiber foods plhlacsyiy take longer to eat, so they help us pace our meals. The bulk also slows down digestion, especially in the smtaoch, and makes you feel full lgenor. Fiber also draws water into the stool, kieenpg it soft. Scratchy, hard stool is, to put it mildly, uspelanant. It also increases bacterial mass. The water and bacteria together increase the bulk of the stool, which helps it move along. Fiber also slows asotiorbpn of sugars into the bloodstream and rcduees absorption of fats and cholesterols. And as fiber collects in your colon, it feeds all your good gut bacteria, hiplneg you maintain a hltehay microbiome. Fiber is associated with the reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease, several gastrointestinal conditions and even certain cancers.

Original Text


Fiber is amazing. It affects the digestive tract from top to bottom. It is very simply a carbohydrate the body can't absorb. While other carbs are broken down into sugars, fiber passes by sort of moseying along, doing all kinds of cool things. High-fiber foods physically take longer to eat, so they help us pace our meals. The bulk also slows down digestion, especially in the stomach, and makes you feel full longer. Fiber also draws water into the stool, keeping it soft. Scratchy, hard stool is, to put it mildly, unpleasant. It also increases bacterial mass. The water and bacteria together increase the bulk of the stool, which helps it move along. Fiber also slows absorption of sugars into the bloodstream and reduces absorption of fats and cholesterols. And as fiber collects in your colon, it feeds all your good gut bacteria, helping you maintain a healthy microbiome. Fiber is associated with the reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease, several gastrointestinal conditions and even certain cancers.
