Protein is also important for enzyme production, immune system support and hormone  regulation.

Importance of Fiber 

  • Reduce body sugar and lower cholesterol; soluble fiber found in foods like oats fruits and beans dissolves in water to form gel-like substance which help regulate the body sugar and reduce the cholesterol level in the body.
  • Prevent constipation; soluble fiber found in foods like whole grains, vegetables and nuts adds bulk to the stool promoting movement of the bowel and prevents constipation.
  • Healthy gut and immunity; the gut microbiota compose of trillions of bacteria residing in our digestive tract, plays a vital role in immune function and overall health.
