DIABETES AND IMPORTANCE OF DIETARY FIBRE
It is a known fact that most of the diabetic problems come as a result of
wrong diet and nutrition, and in order to tackle these problems a correct
approach must be use, therefore this simple information about dietary fibre is
given here.
IT’S important for the diabetic person to eat healthy foods
like fibre rich foods. Fibres have been shown to produce beneficial effects on
the human body. They are the indigestible portion of fruits, vegetables, and
grains. There are two main types of dietary fiber: soluble fiber and insoluble
fiber. Both are believed to be important for maintaining good health.
They are also helpful in preventing certain cancers. The
diabetic person should be aware of the types of fibres that are of benefit to
him. The soluble fibres are found in legumes, oat bran and in certain fruits
and vegetable. These fibres help in lowering cholesterol levels. They also
decrease the rate of absorption of sugar from blood and therefore keeps the
blood sugar level normal.
The insoluble fibres are those which are found in
many fruit, vegetables, whole wheat cereals and they act like brooms in the
colon. The diabetic patient should incorporate soluble fibres into their diet.
It decrease the need for administration of insulin and also prevents various
complications arising in diabetics. Diabetes researchers believe that consuming
large amounts of soluble fiber (over 50 grams a day) may help control blood
glucose levels after meals by slowing the rate of carbohydrate absorption in
the intestine. Soluble fiber has also been shown to lower blood cholesterol
levels by binding to cholesterol and helping to pass it out of the body.
Health experts recommend a high fibre diet for diabetics.
It has been noted that diabetes decreases and may even disappear in people who
eat a traditional whole grain diet. High fibre diet provides a physical barrier
and thus saves carbohydrates from the digestive effect of enzymes. Hence,
lesser calories are ingested. Dietary fibres also absorbs harmful fatty acids.
Fat are easily swept away due to locomotive effect of fibre.
Nutrition experts recommend that adults consume 20 to
35 grams of fiber daily. For children, the recommended amount is the child's
age plus five, so, for example, a five-year-old needs about 10 grams of fiber a
day. Drinking plenty of water and other fluids at least 8 cups a day is
necessary for fiber to do its job.
