Psyllium, seed husks with Super Powers?
Properties
- Psyllium husk (external coating of the seed) has high nutritional value: proteins, polysaccharides, glycosides, vitamin B1 and choline;
- Contains high fiber content, composed mainly of hemicellulose (complex polysaccharide partially digested in the colon part and nourishes the intestinal flora).
Benefits
- Combats Constipation: As psyllium moves down the digestive tract, it absorbs water in the intestines, swells and contributes to the formation of gelatinous stools that are soft and easy to pass; Indicated for those who suffer from hemorrhoidal, or hypersensitivity to the presence of fibers
- Improves Cholesterol Levels: Soluble fiber interferes with the absorption of bile acids in the intestines, which forces bile acids to be excreted in the feces. In this process, LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels are reduced;
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): IBS is a common chronic gastrointestinal disorder and soluble fiber causes less abdominal pain, bloating/bloating and flatulence;
- Diabetes: Some research suggests that soluble fiber, such as psyllium, can help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar levels.
- Weight control: being a source of soluble fiber, which absorbs water and forms a gel in the digestive tract, consuming psyllium helps to slow down the process of digestion of food, giving the body the possibility to extract more nutrients from food;
- Prebiotic Effect: Prebiotics are non-digestible compounds that nourish intestinal bacteria and help them to grow. Researchers believe psyllium has prebiotic effects
