Everything you need to know about dietary fiber (Walla system!)

The Israeli date palm is one of the symbols of Tu B'Shvat, and not for nothing - it is the only dried

fruit that grows in Israel and dries on the tree naturally without the need for added sugar or preservatives, so it is the healthiest of all.

Used in high temperatures and preservatives such as sulfur dioxide to improve their color, prevent oxidation and spoilage and extend their shelf life. Sensitive and children.

Further proof of the health benefits of the date was recently obtained, when a study published in the journal Scientific reports from Nature, and examined 10 different varieties of dates, found that the fruit has 7 types of dietary fiber.

The healthiest on the plate.

Dietary fiber is a carbohydrate or carbohydrate-like plant component, which is not broken down by the enzymes secreted in the human upper digestive tract, and therefore is not digested there.

"Fiber is very important in reducing the risk of 'abundance diseases'. The new study found 7 types of dietary fiber in dates: 4 types of soluble dietary fiber, and 3 types of insoluble dietary fiber," explains Merav Mor-Ofir, clinical nutritionist and consultant Scientific to the Plant Council.

"The multiplicity of types can explain the range of health effects attributed to the date; from giving a feeling of satiety and proper functioning of the digestive system, to potential effects on heart health and prevention of colon cancer. The date is also rich in minerals and antioxidants."

Healthy, healthy, healthy.

Pectin, beta-glucan, galactomannan, fructan - 4 types of soluble dietary

fiber: Soluble dietary fiber - can be fermented and broken down by the enzymes of the bacterial population of the colon.

These fibers absorb water which increases their viscosity.

The viscosity contributes to prolonging the stay of the food in the stomach and small intestine, and thus it increases the feeling of satiety and can help maintain a healthy weight.

Inhibiting gastric emptying may also help regulate blood glucose and insulin levels.

The soluble fiber may interfere with the absorption of fat and cholesterol from the diet, bind to bile acids which are a source of cholesterol, and thus contribute to lowering blood cholesterol levels.

Soluble fiber includes 'pre-biotic' fiber, which is used as a food substrate that encourages the growth of friendly bacteria in the colon (the microbiome) and contributes to its health.

Cellulose, lignin, arbinoxylan - 3 types of insoluble

dietary fiber: Insoluble dietary fiber - does not break down at all in the digestive tract.

These fibers, which are fermenting difficulties, absorb water similar to absorb.

Thus they soften the stool mass, increase its volume, accelerate its passage along the entire length of the intestine and contribute to the prevention of constipation and the health of the digestive system.

The recommended daily dietary fiber intake is about 25 grams or more in most age groups.

Dates are an excellent source of dietary fiber.

And contain about 7-5 g of dietary fiber per 100 g.

The high content of dietary fiber, along with the multiplicity of varieties, indicates the high health potential of the date fruit.
