What is Fiber and why is it important?

Dietary fiber comes from plant-based foods. In fact, fiber is actually a type of carbohydrate. But unlike most carbs that turn into sugar, fiber can’t be broken down or absorbed by the body. Instead, it passes through the body undigested. Because of this, fiber can do some amazing things that no other food or nutrient can!

Fiber comes in two major forms: soluble and insoluble. Both of these play important roles in maintaining health throughout the body.


Soluble Fiber

Soluble fiber can dissolve in water. It forms a gel-like substance during digestion. In this form, it traps excess sugars, fats, and cholesterol as it moves through the intestines, helping sweep them out of the body. It also plays an important role in keeping blood cholesterol low and reducing blood glucose levels.


Insoluble Fiber

Insoluble fiber never dissolves. Instead, it acts like a cleansing sponge, absorbing up to 15 times its weight in water. Its primary benefit is to provide bulk in the gut, which can help promote feelings of fullness while also speeding up the movement of food through the digestive system—helping with regularity.


How Fiber Helps Cleanse your body of toxins?


  • The liver begins producing a substance necessary for digestion called bile. Bile is made of acids as well as cholesterol.

  • Bile is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder until foods that contain fat are eaten.

  • After eating, the bile is dumped into the small intestine, where it breaks up fat, grease, and food particles.

  • At the lower end of the small intestine, the bile is broken down into its individual components—cholesterol, fat, toxins, and wastes.

  • If there is an adequate amount of fiber in the intestines, the fiber binds to the cholesterol, fat, and toxins and sweeps them out of the body.

  • If there isn’t enough fiber in the intestines, the toxins reenter the bloodstream and are recirculated throughout the body. These toxins will eventually reach the liver. This forces the liver to process them again and dump them into the intestines in the next batch of bile.
