Fibers are made up of soluble and insoluble components. Soluble fiber components dissolve in water to form a gel-like substance, while insoluble fiber remains intact and promotes healthy digestion. Fiber products that support the healthy and regular functioning of the digestive system should be consumed at approximately 25-30 grams per day by healthy individuals.
Among the benefits of fiber-rich foods are:
- Reducing cholesterol levels,
- Strengthening the immune system by improving the intestinal flora,
- Regulation of blood glucose level,
- Protection against heart disease
