Insoluble Fibre
This type of fibre does not dissolve in water, and cannot be digested.
Instead insoluble fibre passes through the body attracting water to it. Indigestibility and the fact that it draws water into the gastrointestinal tract make insoluble fibre a great way to prevent constipation.
With a healthy insoluble fibre intake stools are soft and easy to pass – which is a great way to prevent diverticular disease – a condition that affects up to one in two people over 50, of those one in 20 with develop further complications.
