Dietary fibers are found naturally in the plants that we eat. They are parts of plant that do not break down in our stomachs, and instead pass through our system undigested. Fiber helps you absorb the nutrition you need from food and gets rid of the waste you don’t. All dietary fibers are either soluble or insoluble. Both types of fiber are equally important for health, digestion, and preventing conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, diverticulitis, constipation, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, Colon cancer. And the more of it you eat, the lower your risk of stroke. It’s also the missing link in fighting asthma. A Swiss study showed fiber creates an environment in your gut that reduces asthma-producing inflammation in your lungs.
