Insoluble soluble fibres
Fibre isn't only roughage! In fact, good fibre isn't only just one substance, it is a combination of insoluble and soluble fibres. These consist of cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose, lignin, and gums/mucilage's and are found largely in the cell walls of plant foods and are non-digestable. Consuming 30 grams of both insoluble and soluble fibres daily is important to maintain a healthy digestive system.

Soluble fibre has been shown to have beneficial effect on controlling cholesterol when consumed as part of a low-fat diet

Fibre has this ability to decrease the absorption of bile salts. Bile is needed to digest and emulsify fats and oils which then become absorbed through the intestines. When you absorb too many bile salts you risk getting high cholesterol. Fibre "binds" to the bile acids, reducing or preventing the reabsorption of bile acid. Your body then draws on its stored cholesterol to synthesize more bile acid. This action helps to lower your blood cholesterol levels.
