let’s talk about the 10 benefits of fiber now  when i’m talking about fiber i’m talking about  

vegetable fiber i’m not talking about grain fibers  like bran or anything like that but vegetables  

and i do recommend as part of a healthy keto  lifestyle you consume a good amount of vegetables  

whether that’s salad or other vegetables now  also on the flip side there’s certain times  

where i don’t recommend vegetables if you have  sibo or you have a history of a lot of digestive  

damage that might make things worse so you’re  going to have to test it out but here are some  

benefits of fiber in general number one fiber  has a zero effect on insulin despite being a  

carbohydrate number two it generally contains a  lot of phytonutrients like carotenoids for example  

and it also contains vitamins and minerals number  three fiber can bind to bile and help regulate  

the amount of bile in the body i did a separate  video on that i’m going to put a link down below  

number four it can help feed your microflora in  fact the good bacteria in your large intestine  

eat fiber as their main source of food and our  bodies don’t have the ability to digest fiber  

thank goodness we have bacteria that can help us  out and that fiber that is fed to the microbes  

then gives the microbes energy and the byproducts  that the microbes make when they ferment this  

fiber is called small chain fatty acids which  not only feed the colon cells but they also help  

your blood sugars they’ll help insulin resistance  and they’re even anti-cancer all right number six  

it helps regulate your ph when you feed these  microbes especially the lactobacillus the ph can  

now be in the range that you need it to prevent  pathogens from existing in that environment  

number seven fiber helps to transient time as far  as how fast things go through the digestive system  

number eight fiber can help  regulate lipids in cholesterol  

not that lipids or cholesterol is bad but they  help regulate it to some degree and number nine  

certain fibers have an anti-cancer effect probably  because they’re loaded with phytonutrients  

and they’re converted to small chain  fatty acids number 10 fiber helps buffer  

the blood sugar response so when you eat certain  carbohydrates whether it’s a carrot or a celery or  

a tomato the amount of fiber in that food greatly  helps to minimize the glycemic response from that  

carbohydrate all right there you have it the  10 benefits of fiber before you go if you have
