Did you mean Fiber?

GlossaryFiber

indigestible plant material aiding digestion and preventing constipation

Fiber, also known as dietary fiber or roughage, refers to the indigestible parts of plant foods that pass through the digestive system relatively intact. It is crucial for maintaining healthy digestion, preventing constipation, and can aid in controlling blood sugar levels and lowering cholesterol. There are two main types: soluble fiber, which dissolves in water and can help lower glucose and cholesterol levels, and insoluble fiber, which does not dissolve in water and helps food move through the digestive system, promoting regularity.
