FIBER
Fiber is a plant component that is not affected by the
digestive enzymes. It is broken down by the bacteria in the
lower large intestine (colon), and taken out by stool. Foods
that contain fiber play several important roles. It gives
us a sense of fullness, which protects us from becoming
overweight. It increases intestinal movements, which protect
us from constipation. It also balances the blood fats, which
protect us from coronary and heart diseases. Fiber also helps
to the slow absorption of blood sugar and thus contributes
to better control of diabetes. Moreover, correct the intestinal
flora on behalf of useful bacteria and decrease the risk of
many intestinal diseases.

(dried apricot, raisin, fig, dried fruit pulp, etc.) and nuts (nuts,
pistachios, walnut, almond, etc.) are rich in fiber.
