The role of fiber in blood sugar control 

00:00:05.605 --> 00:00:10.975 
Fiber is an important part of a healthy
diet, especially for people who need to 

00:00:10.975 --> 00:00:12.765 
control their blood sugar levels. 

00:00:13.145 --> 00:00:17.237 
Fiber, especially soluble fiber, has a
positive effect on blood sugar control 

00:00:17.237 --> 00:00:20.305 
through various mechanisms, slowing down
the absorption of glucose. 

00:00:20.705 --> 00:00:24.644 
Soluble fiber helps slow down the rate
at which carbohydrates are digested and 

00:00:24.644 --> 00:00:27.673 
glucose is absorbed into the
bloodstream, which helps prevent blood 

00:00:27.673 --> 00:00:28.885 
sugar spikes after meals. 

00:00:28.885 --> 00:00:30.585 
Increase insulin sensitivity 

00:00:30.585 --> 00:00:35.178 
According to the World Health
Organization, consuming more fiber can 

00:00:35.178 --> 00:00:39.770 
improve insulin sensitivity to absorb
glucose more effectively, which helps 

00:00:39.770 --> 00:00:42.525 
prevent or control type 2 diabetes. 

00:00:43.905 --> 00:00:49.736 
Fiber helps reduce feelings of fullness,
reduces food intake and 

00:00:49.736 --> 00:00:51.485 
limits sugary snacks.
