Sources and Importance of Fibres(Roughage) in our Diet Video Lecture | Science Class 6

hey Bella what are you doing I'm looking
for something to eat that's high in
fiber fiber what's that it helps with my
digestive system where'd you learn that
I watched all of them griffons videos
what up dudes and what's up ladies at
fibre time in this video we are going to
cover what fibre is the types of fiber
sources that are high in fiber and the
recommended fiber intake so let's roll
so what is fiber fiber is parts of
plants that cannot be digested even
though it can't be digested fiber is
still an essential part of our diet
there are two types of fiber
the first is soluble fiber which
dissolves in water and becomes gel like
as it passes through the body
the second is insoluble fiber which
doesn't dissolve in water and keeps its
form as it passes through the body both
types of fiber are typically found in
plant foods but rarely in equal portions
both forms have an equally important
part in our diet so you shouldn't focus
on one over the other some of the
potential benefits of fiber include
lowering cholesterol weight control
constipation and irritable bowel
syndrome removing toxins and it can also
help with blood sugar control
the Institute of Medicine recommends 38
grams of fiber for men and 25 grams for
women per day and you should make this
increase gradually so what are some good
sources of fiber high fiber sources
include fruits vegetables whole grain
pasta legumes nuts and seeds
bottom line time so as you can see fiber
is an essential part of our diet
increase your fruits and vegetables
