  8. Fiber is a substance found in plants. Dietary fiber – the kind you eat – is found in fruits, vegetables, and grains. It is an important part of a healthy diet. It helps to keep your heart and other organs healthy. What is fiber?

  9. There are 2 forms of fiber: soluble and insoluble. • Soluble fiber attracts water and turns to gel during digestion. This slows digestion. Soluble fiber is found in oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas, and some fruits and vegetables. Soluble fiber has been scientifically proven to lower cholesterol, which can help prevent heart disease. • Insoluble fiber is found in foods such as wheat bran, vegetables, and whole grains. It appears to speed the passage of foods through the stomach and intestines and adds bulk to the stool. Types of fiber
