But where it may help to prolong the duration of your life, above all, is in its ability to bind with bile acids and cholesterol produced by your liver, thus reducing your risk of vascular disease. When digestion of fats containing food, these producing acids of liver draining in the gastrointestinal tract to help emulsifying and increase the absorption of fat. This means that they are transported in the bloodstream, where they can cover the walls of blood vessels and contributes to coronary artery disease (you guessed it). These "soluble" to act as a trap, capture these fats and acids giving your body the opportunity to eliminate digestive system naturally.

Many whole and unprocessed foods are rich in fibre. After treatment (i.e. in cans, packaging, milling, etc.), this beneficial content can fall. Common types of soluble in food in bulk / raw include pectins, gums, betaglucans, lignins, mucilage and Hemi-cellulose. These foods with the highest content include legumes such as beans and peas, green vegetables (including broccoli and kale) and cereals such as oats and barley.

Just for reference, most commonly consumed foods, the section of products such as bananas and contain apples in the neighbourhood of 3 to 5 grams per serving. To get the daily recommended from a single source of product level, you need to eat a dozen bananas, or medium-sized apples 9 or about 5 cups of broccoli.

Start with one quarter to one third of the recommended amount and build your dosage upward gradually over a period of weeks. This can help reduce the bloating and gas that may occur when you start on one of these products. Don't forget to drink more water throughout the day, as your digestive tract requires a lot of hydration to these supplements to work for you.
