Fiber
Fiber is the structural part of plants and is found in vegetables, fruits, grains and legumes.
Most dietary fibers are polysaccharides, like starch, but they are not digestible.
The human body lacks the enzymes needed to digest and absorb fiber.
As a result fibers reach the lower intestine intact where intestinal bacteria can ferment some fiber.

Types of Fiber
There are many different types of fiber, in general fibers can be divided into two types based on their physical properties.
◦ Soluble fibers◦ Insoluble fibers
![Page 7: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Soluble Fibers
Soluble fibers dissolve in water, form gels and are easily digested by bacteria in the lower intestine.
◦ Provides a feeling of fullness.◦ Slow down the rate food leaves the stomach.◦ May have a role with heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer
Found in legumes and fruits
![Page 8: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Insoluble Fiber
Insoluble fibers absorb water and swell up resulting in a larger softer stool that is easier and quicker to pass.
◦ Provides a feeling of fullness◦ Helps with intestinal function◦ May help with colon cancer
Found in grains and vegetables
![Page 9: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Fiber and Health
Both fiber types are important for health.
Fibers are beneficial for many conditions; constipation, diarrhea, diverticular disease, heart disease, diabetes and colon cancer.
Fiber is only one factor involved in these conditions.
![Page 10: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Fiber and Health
Foods high fiber have many factors that may be factors in lowering disease risk.
◦ High fiber◦ Low in fat◦ High vitamins (antioxidants)◦ High in minerals◦ High in phytochemicals
![Page 11: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Intestinal Function
Insoluble fibers absorb water resulting in a larger, softer stool that is faster and easier to eliminate, which can help with:
◦ Constipation◦ Hemorrhoids◦ Diverticular disease
![Page 12: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Colon Cancer
Both insoluble and soluble fibers may protect against colon cancer◦ Insoluble fibers absorb water making a larger, softer stool which can:
◦ Dilute potential carcinogens◦ Reduce transit time so the colon is exposed to any cancer causing substance for less time.
◦ Soluble fibers can bind bile acids, potential carcinogens, and increase their excretion.
![Page 13: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Heart Disease
As mentioned, soluble fibers can bind to bile acids and increase their excretion.
With fewer bile acids in the intestine, less fat is absorbed.
Also by increasing bile acid excretion, the liver must use its cholesterol to make new bile acids.
![Page 14: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Diabetes
Soluble fibers may have a favorable effect on blood glucose.
Soluble fibers decrease the rate at which food is released from the stomach and delays glucose absorption into the blood.
This may help prevent wide swings in blood glucose throughout the day.
![Page 15: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Weight Management
Foods rich in complex carbohydrates tend to be low in fat and added sugars which can help with weight management by providing fewer calories.
In addition, as fibers absorb water they swell up creating a feeling of fullness and delaying hunger.
![Page 16: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How Much Fiber
The National Research Council set a Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for dietary fiber.
An adequate Intake (AI) for dietary fiber was set at 14 grams dietary fiber per 1,000 calories.
◦ Thus for a reference 2,000 calorie diet recommended intake would be 28 grams per day.
![Page 17: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Too Much Fiber
Dietary fiber can bind some minerals and decrease their absorption. However, if mineral intake is adequate a recommended dietary fiber intake will not compromise mineral balance.
Fiber intake is like all nutrients - “more” is not always “better.” Consuming a diet that provides a variety of nutrients is the key.
![Page 18: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Food Sources of Fiber
Foods are the best source of fiber, get both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Food sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, whole grain products, legumes, nuts and seeds.
Cooking processing and removing peels can lower fiber content.
![Page 19: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Tips for Increasing Fiber
Increase fiber slowly. Increasing fiber too fast may cause bloating and gas.
Since some fiber absorbs water it also is important to drink plenty of fluids when increasing dietary fiber.
![Page 20: Carbohydrates SESSION 2: DIETARY FIBER DR AZADEH NADJARZADEH AZADEHNAJARZADEH@GMAIL.COM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032415/56649f0c5503460f94c1ff66/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tips for Increasing Fiber
Because fibers absorb liquids drink plenty of fluids when increasing fiber.
As with all nutrients, “more” is not “better.” Moderation is the key.

The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences publishes the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) for dietary components, including macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. The DRIs consist of the RDAs, EARs, AIs, and ULs.
Recommended values are provided for each life cycle group—from birth through childhood, sexual maturity, midlife, and old age.

Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) The nutrient intake value sufficient to meet the requirements of half the healthy individuals in a group. The Nutrient Content of the U.S. Food Supply Series uses this DRI for nutrient comparisons.
Adequate Intake (AI) The recommended daily intake based on approximations of nutrient intake by a group (or groups) of healthy people. It is used when the RDA cannot be determined.
