Imagine eating to satiety, without having to go without, and without risk of weight gain, rather, to lose those extra pounds.
Is it possible and realistic? Doctors say yes! In recent years, research has found dozens of delicious foods with the ability to prevent fat and much of the sugars to be absorbed by the body during digestion.
Dietary fibers are substances of plant origin, indigestible, but essential for the proper functioning of the bowel.
Those that interest us to block fat and sugars, are soluble. These fibers absorb excess water in the body. They help to form stools softer and bulkier, it favors the elimination of fat and cholesterol and regulate the absorption of carbohydrates. It promotes the intestinal peristalsis and promote the elimination of toxic organism. In the small intestine, food residue cluster on the soluble fiber and subsequently evacuated from the body. In contact with liquid, these fibers become viscous and thus encourage the shift of residues. Among the soluble fiber found pectins, mucilages, which form gels on contact with water. Pectin present in the berries and pome fruit (especially apples, pears, grapes) but also the gums, mucilages and algae.
