Healthy evening
1.Soluble fibre is found in oat bran , barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas , and some fruits and vegetables .
Soluble fibre feed and nourishes the gut microbe , producing short- chain fatty acid butyrate, which boost gut health.
2.Insoluble fibre found in foods such as wheat bran , whole grains and insoluble fibre appears to speed the passage of foods through the stomach and intestines and add bulk to the stool.
3.Both soluble and insoluble fibre have their own benefits.
Soluble fibre can help improve digestion and lower blood sugar , while insoluble fibre can soften stool , making it easier to pass.

Soluble and insoluble fibers are two types of dietary fiber, which are essential components of a healthy diet. Here’s a brief overview of each:
Soluble Fiber
• Definition: Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a gel-like substance.
• Sources: Oats, beans, lentils, apples, oranges, carrots, barley, and psyllium.
Insoluble Fiber
• Definition: Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water. It adds bulk to the stool and helps food pass more quickly through the stomach and intestines.
• Sources: Whole grains (such as whole wheat and brown rice), nuts, beans, cauliflower, green beans, potatoes, and the skins of fruits and vegetables.
