The benifits of fiber from hemp

Fiber is linked to prevent some cancers especially colon and breast cancer. In addition, fiber may help lower the LDL cholesterol (the Bad cholesterol) and the total cholesterol therefore reducing the risk of heart disease. Fiber can help lower blood sugar therefore help better manage diabetes.

Types of Fiber: Soluble Fiber and Insoluble Fiber
Benefits of Insoluble Fiber

*Promote regular bowel movement and prevent constipation
*Remove toxic waste through colon in less time
*Help prevent colon cancer by keeping an optimal pH in intestines to prevent microbes from producing cancerous substances

Functions of Soluble Fiber
*Bind with fatty acids
*Prolong stomach emptying time so that sugar is released and absorbed more slowly
*Lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (the Bad cholesterol) therefore reducing the risk of heart disease
*Regulate blood sugar for people with diabetes
Soluble fiber dissolves in water and turns to gel during digestion. This helps control diabetes since it slows digestion and the rate of nutrient absorption from the stomach and intestine. It blunts the rapid rise of blood glucose after a meal. The problem is that most popular American foods are low in fiber.
