7Define insoluble fibre
- AInsoluble fibre absorbs the water and increases the bulk in the stool (soft bulky stools).
Foods rich in insoluble fibre include; wholemeal bread and fibre, wholegrain cereals, pasta and brown rice. - BInsoluble fibre slows down the digestion process and the absorption of CHO and so helps blood sugar levels. May reduce blood cholesterol levels and in turn reduces risk of heart disease. Foods rich in insoluble fibre include; oats, peas, beans, lentils and most types of fruits and vegetables.
- AInsoluble fibre absorbs the water and increases the bulk in the stool (soft bulky stools).
