Why you need fiber!

Fiber is a really important part of your every day food intake. Generally fiber is a matter that your body is unable to digest. Fibers can be most often found in fruits and vegetables such and also in beans and nuts. 

You can divide fibers in two general groups - solubles and insolubles. The daily need of human for fibers is about 40 grams for men and about 25 gram for women. The soluble fiber can absorb liquids as a sponge. For that reason it helps you feel less hunger because the meal that you had is staying in your stomach for a longer period of time and this also helps your sugar levels to be  stable because  the food is being digested in a slower manner. Generally you can look at insoluble fiber as you look a brush. It cleans your digestive system and keeps the cholesterol low. That of course brings a better blood pressure which is another reason for fiber to be a preferred food. Another plus of eating foods with fiber is that it has zero calories.
