My Views

The job of soluble fiber is to absorb water in the intestinal tract and slow down the amount of time needed to empty the intestine. Eating these fibers makes you feel full and may help in weight loss. These are also the fibers which are credited with helping to lower bad cholesterol levels in the blood. Examples of foods that contain soluble fibers include:

Dried beans and peas.

Lentils.

Oats.

Barley.

Psyllium laxatives

Sesame seed

Fruit, especially bananas, apple pulp, citrus, grapes, apricots, cherries

Vegetables, especially potatoes, cabbage, carrots

Remember that fruits and oats are primary sources of soluble fibers. Psyllium is the most convenient and readily available form of soluble fiber supplementation.
