Fiber is the structural portion of the plant and can found in fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains as oats and brown rice. Meat, fish and poultry does not provide fiber.   This is generally classified in two ways: soluble and insoluble. What does it do? Soluble fibers and water trap expand by increasing the time it takes food to move through the digestive tract. Most of the insoluble fibers escapes digestion. Therefore they are particularly beneficial because they provide volume. Why is it important? As the water soluble fiber increases time it takes for food to pass through the digestive system, produces a feeling of satiety. It has also demonstrated that the soluble fiber in oats is healthy for the heart. Insoluble fibers are particularly useful for promoting regularity. Where do we find? Soluble fiber is more abundant in oats, beans, barley and certain fruits such as apples. Insoluble fiber is abundant in vegetables, wheat bran, brown rice and other whole grains. and you can also find it on our Herbalife products  you can order here
