Effects Of Fiber

[Gourav]

The effect of fiber on blood cholesterol is still under investigation. However, researchers believe that the mechanisms of fiber can lower blood cholesterol is multifactor. By delaying the gastric emptying, the fiber affects the absorption of fat, which affects the formation of Proterozoic, thus reducing the amount of cholesterol in the blood after eating.

Since the gel formation induced by soluble fiber interfere with digestive enzymes, impaired fat absorption, and therefore the formation of lipoprotein disturbed. Fiber can bind bile acids or interfere with the formation of micelles, damage absorption of cholesterol (bile acid micelles and necessary for the absorption of cholesterol).

Once the fiber reaches the colon, propitiation produced, enter the blood, and may inhibit cholesterol biosynthesis.

This all may seem a little hairy, but if you do a little research on how cholesterol is made up of fat, it will make a little more reasonable.

In the large intestine (colon), the ability of fibers to reduce the transit time depends on whether or not soluble. More easily soluble fiber is fermented by bacteria in the colon than insoluble fiber. Therefore, more than insoluble fibers remain in the stool, creating a much more mass than the soluble fiber. In other words, to take further increase the size of your stool soluble fiber than soluble fiber. The increase in bulk also increases the amount of water capacity in the feces. The combination of larger mass and greater moisture content contributes to a decrease in colon transit time.
