Soluble Fibre
Soluble fibre absorbs water and slows down food transit from the stomach. The greatest benefit is that is helps decrease cholesterol by washing bile acids from the intestinal tract. It also provides a sense of fullness for a longer period of time, controls appetite, and enhances the amount of weight lost on a diet. Soluble fibre also helps protect against hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia because it maintains healthy blood sugar levels.
Insoluble Fibre
Primarily increases stool bulk and water content, speeding transit of stool through the bowel, it has a natural laxative effect and is effective in preventing diverticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome and hemorrhoids, including colon cancer, possibly by reducing the amount of time carcinogens remain in the GI system. Some insoluble fibres decrease the amount of bile acids in the stomach, preventing ulcers. All whole grains and many fruits and vegetables contain large quantities of insoluble fibre.
