These fibers are often found in these foods and are particularly important for our intestines. So, why is fiber so important for our intestines? The human intestine provides a basis of life for numerous microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, which not only helps with food decomposition and nutrient processing, but also plays an important role for the human immune system. However, if people eat incorrectly or do without nutrients that are important for the microorganisms, which can have a variety of consequences for the human body - from headaches and listlessness to digestive problems and a weakening of the immune system. Dietary fiber is one of those nutrients that are very important for the microorganisms living in the intestines. At the same time, however, they also dilute the carbohydrates. These pass into the blood more slowly and the sugar level is less subject to fluctuations. As a result, we are more balanced, more productive and less susceptible to hunger attacks. But fiber can also help you lose weight or stay slim in the stomach. There they swell and linger for a long time before they migrate into the intestines, which not only leads to long-lasting satiety, but also inhibits the release of the appetite hormone ghrelin. With a pure low-carb diet, which is not infrequently used not only as a diet, but as a permanent form of nutrition, can easily lead to an undersupply of the body with fiber.
