Tummy Tucking<\/strong>: soluble fiber may target belly fat associated with metabolic disease.<\/p>

LDL cholesterol<\/strong><\/p>

Beta-glucans – reduce \u201cbad\u201d LDL cholesterol by binding to bile acids(produced by liver from cholesterol & excreted via feces) hence lowering the amount of cholesterol circulating in blood.(In one small study, men with high cholesterol were put on a diet rich in whole wheat, brown rice or barley. After five weeks, those given barley reduced their cholesterol levels by 7% more than participants on the other two diets.)<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Improves HDL cholesterol<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0reduce\u00a0triglyceride levels<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0the most.<\/p>

SCFAs produced when healthy gut bacteria feed on soluble fiber may help prevent cholesterol production as well, further reducing\u00a0cholesterol level.<\/a><\/p>

Heart Health:<\/strong><\/p>

Recent review of randomized control studies observed that an average intake of 8.7 grams of soluble fiber per day may be linked to a modest 0.3\u20131.6 mmHg reduction in blood pressure. High blood pressure and high LDL cholesterol are two known risk factors for heart disease. Thus, reducing them may protect your heart\u00a0(\u00a0<\/strong>fiber, potassium,folate, and vitamin B6 content, lack of cholesterol helps a lot)<\/p>

Blood vessels<\/strong>\u00a0(Vitamin B6 and folate prevent the buildup of homocysteine which damage blood vessels)<\/p>

Blood pressure (<\/strong>potassium,calcium<\/a>, and Magnesium helps lowering it)<\/p>

Insoluble fiber \u2014 adds bulk to your stool and accelerates intestinal movement, reducing your likelihood of constipation Soluble fiber – provides food for friendly gut bacteria which in turn, produceshort-chain fatty acids.\u00a0<\/a>SCFAs help feed gut cells, reducing inflammation and improving symptoms of gut disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn\u2019s disease and ulcerative colitis<\/p>

Prevent Gallstones<\/strong><\/p>

Insoluble fiber- prevent formation of gallstones so likelihood of gallbladder surgery. (16-year observational study, women with the highest amounts of fiber intake were 13% less likely to develop gallstones requiring gallbladder removal. This benefit appears to be dose-related, as every 5-gram increase in insoluble fiber intake dropped gallstone risk by around 10%).<\/p>
