Importance of Fiber in Diabetic diet:-

Fiber, also called roughage or bulk, is the part of plants that our body can’t digest. Fiber is
found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts & seeds. In general, the more natural &
unprocessed the food, the higher it is in fiber. 

1. Improves your blood sugar control & thus may reduce the risk of diabetes.
2. Fiber intake is associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
3. Fiber helps you feel full, so may even promote weight loss.
4. Fiber has a important job to take part in maintaining a healthy digestive system.
5. By increasing the volume of fecal material, it encourages the effective passage of waste
products through the intestine. It also draws in water from the surrounding blood
vessels, which softens the stools, making elimination more regular and easier, thus
helping to prevent constipation & hemorrhoids.
6. By reducing the absorption of digested fats, blood cholesterol levels are lowered,
thereby reducing the coronary heart disease.
