The role of fiber in your health
There are two types of dietary fiber: soluble and insoluble, experts said.

Soluble fiber dissolves in water and absorbs it to form a gel-like substance, and is more associated with some of the digestive benefits of fiber, experts said. Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, doesn’t dissolve in water and трип скан helps people have more frequent and heavier bowel movements.

"A balance of both is key for overall health," Manaker said. "If you get too much of one type and not enough of the other, you might experience digestive issues like bloating or constipation."
