Detailed explanation-1: -Soluble fibre soaks up water like a sponge and helps to bulk out our poo (faeces) so it can pass through the gut more easily. It acts to slow down the rate of digestion. Soluble fibre includes pectins, gums and mucilage, which are found mainly in plant cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fiber is important for keeping the digestive tract working smoothly. Since we do not digest it, the fiber in food passes into the intestine and absorbs water. The undigested fiber creates “bulk” so the muscles in the intestine can push waste out of the body. Eating enough fiber helps prevent constipation.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to Complete Food and Nutrition Guide, Third Edition, by aiding in our digestion, insoluble fiber helps to relieve constipation. In addition, by helping to remove waste from our colon, it lessens the amount of time that harmful substances remain in contact with the colon’s lining.
