GG Scandinavian Crispbread-Bran Crispbread (100g) The Power of Dietary Fiber Dietary fiber is a natural substance obtained from fruits, vegetables and cereals. At its most basic level, fiber is comprised of plant cell walls and associated material like cellulose and pectin. The health benefits of fiber have long been widely acknowledged. Foremost is fiber's ability to add bulk to our diet. Bulk promotes the passage of food through the intestine and can prevent, as well as alleviate constipation. Fiber can be extraordinarily beneficial as part of a weight loss regiment. As fiber passes through the digestive system, it absorbs water and swells like a sponge. Such a filling food decreases appetite, causing us to eat less. As the calories locked in the fiber cannot be released by human digestion, weight loss is enhanced. The Breakdown on Bran Pure bran contains the highest percentage of dietary fiber. As most bran is removed from the cereal and bread products that we typically eat, alternate sources of bran need to be found if we wish to add this healthful and slimming component to our diet.
