It's a non-digestible carbohydrate for humans that keeps us regular. It adds bulk to the stool and is a type on insoluble fiber. By this action it reduces chance of many gastrointestinal diseases. It also slows down digestion in your stomach and gives you a full feeling longer. Also slows down digestible carbohydrate absorption and regulates blood sugar.
A lot of benefits, way too many to get into, so do your research.
Digestion breaks down food into simple forms that the body can absorb and use. There are something collectively called essential nutrients, meaning they are nutrients the body need in order to function properly and ultimately survive, but that the body can't produce itself. Through digestion of food that does contain these nutrients, the body can obtain them.
When you eat foods-such as bread, meat, and vegetables-they are not in a form that the body can use as nourishment. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before they can be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. Digestion is the process by which food and drink are broken down into their smallest parts so the body can use them to build and nourish cells and to provide energy.
