"Soluble fibers bind with fatty acids and slow digestion so blood sugars are released more slowly into the body. These fibers help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and help regulate blood sugar levels for people with diabetes. Insoluble fibers help move waste through the intestines and control the pH levels in the intestines. These fibers help prevent constipation and keep you regular." [13]Basically one lowers your cholesterol and regulates blood sugar and the other makes you poop! Either way, they are both very important to your overall health.
You'll feel better, you're blood sugars will even out, you'll lower your risk for developing cardiovascular disease, not to mention strokes and diabetes, and of course, you'll poop better and regularly. All of this will make you a much happier person (just ask anyone who doesn't poop regularly!!) And, of course, one more reminder about increasing your intake slowly!
~a grain of salt for your bloody mary (for extra fiber, of course!)
