“Research is focusing on harnessing these microbes to target and break down microplastics in water. Plant-based filters Using natural materials like plant fibers, which can trap microplastics, is an eco-friendly approach.”

“Barley beta-glucan adds soluble fiber, and about 3 grams per day of sufficiently viscous oat or barley beta-glucan can modestly reduce LDL cholesterol. This clip is excerpted, with permission, from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Mel Robbins Podcast.”

“Soluble fiber, which is found in grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, and some vegetables and fruits, dissolves in water and may reduce blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Insoluble fiber, which is found in wheat bran, vegetables, and whole grains, does not dissolve in water.”

“The study involved nearly 13,000 people living in the United States. Participants provided information about their regular dietary fiber intake and the number and severity of their headaches or migraines.”

“Early evidence supports the consumption of dietary fiber and some probiotic-containing foods and supplements for improving symptoms of leaky gut. Some of the mechanisms involved in this improvement may involve increased butyrate production in the gut.”

“These findings suggest that eating foods rich in cereal grain fibers reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and lowers inflammation. Additional studies are needed to tease out all the mechanisms that drive the protective effects of cereal fiber on cardiovascular health.”

“These findings suggest that dietary fiber exerts a robust protective effect against premature death. Public health efforts aimed at increasing dietary fiber intake may be beneficial for reducing all causes of premature death. Link to full publication.”

“The authors of the review noted that the types of soluble fiber and dosages varied considerably across the 12 studies, however. These findings suggest that soluble fiber supplementation is a promising strategy for improving weight and metabolic health in people with overweight or obesity and supports efforts to increase fiber content of processed foods.”

“According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the recommendations for combined fiber intake vary according to age and sex. Women need between 22 and 28 grams of fiber daily, and men need between 28 and 34 grams daily. Pregnant women need at least 28 grams of fiber daily.”

“Because they contain no supporting food matrix to slow absorption, SSBs are rapidly absorbed by the gut and cause blood sugar spikes. Sugars from fruits and vegetables are packaged with a matrix of fiber and micronutrients that reduce the rate of digestion.”
