Why Fiber is Good For You ⁉️

1️⃣ Fiber slows the rate that sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream.
When you eat foods high in fiber, such as beans and whole grains, the sugar in those foods is absorbed slower, which keeps your blood glucose levels from rising too fast. This is good for you because spikes in glucose fall rapidly, which can make you feel hungry soon after eating and lead to overeating.

2️⃣ Fiber makes your intestines move faster.
When you eat whole grains rich in insoluble fiber, it moves faster through your intestines, which can help signal that you are full.

3️⃣ Fiber cleans your colon, acting like a scrub brush.
The scrub-brush effect of fiber helps clean out bacteria and other buildup in your intestines, and reduces your risk for colon cancer.

4️⃣ Fiber helps keep you regular.
A high-fiber diet helps you have soft, regular bowel movements, reducing constipation.
