Dietary fiber:
What is it made of?
Fiber is made up of non-starch polysaccharides, such as cellulose,
dextrins, inulin, lignin, chitins, pectins, beta-glucans, waxes and
oligosaccharides. The word fiber is misleading, because many types of
dietary fibers are not fibers at all. There are two broad types of
fiber, soluble and insoluble.

HEALTH AFFECTS
Blood sugar control:
Soluble fiber may help to slow your body’s breakdown of carbohydrates
and the absorption of sugar, helping with blood sugar control.
Heart health: An
inverse association has been found between fiber intake and heart
attack, and research shows that those eating a high-fiber diet have a
40 percent lower risk of heart disease.
Skin health: Fiber,
particularly psyllium husk, may help move yeast and fungus out of your
body, preventing them from being excreted through your skin where they
could trigger acne or rashes.
