Fiber is important because it has an influence on the digestion process from start to finish:
- Because it demands that food be more thoroughly chewed, fiber slows down the eating process and helps contribute to a feeling of being full, which in turn can help prevent obesity from overeating.
- Fiber makes food more satisfying, probably because the contents of the stomach are bulkier and stay there longer.
- Fiber slows digestion and absorption so that glucose (sugar) in food enters the bloodstream more slowly, which keeps blood sugar on a more even level For more information on fiber visit :http://www.ehealthmd.com/library/fiber/FIB_whatis.html.
