Dietary fiber is the part of plant-based food that mostly passes through your digestive system without breaking down or being digested. Actually a small amount of fiber is metabolized in the stomach and intestine, the rest is passed through the gastrointestinal tract and makes up a part of the stool. There are two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble fiber.

Soluble fiber
Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form a gel-like material. It can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. Soluble fiber is found in oats, peas, beans, apples, citrus fruits, carrots, barley, and psyllium.

Insoluble fiber
Insoluble fiber comes from plant cell walls and does not dissolve in water. Examples of foods that contain insoluble fiber include wheat, vegetables, and seeds. Also, insoluble fiber is found in the seeds and skins of fruit (so always eat your peels) as well as whole-wheat bread and brown rice. Fiber works by both bulking up the stool and retaining water.

Digestion
Insoluble fiber tends to increase the “speed of transit” through our digestive systems, adds bulk to our stools, and increases the regularity of bowel movements and prevents constipation..

Colon health
Certain insoluble fiber is fermentable by the bacteria in our colons, contributing to colon health. However, soluble fibers tend to be more highly fermentable by these bacteria.

Fiber Torch is a kind of supplement and it is insoluble fiber. The health benefits of Fiber Torch are plentiful. Some of the main ones are listed here.

• Preventing constipation: As an indigestible material, insoluble fiber (fiber torch) sits in the gastrointestinal tract, absorbing fluid and sticking to other byproducts of digestion that are ready to be formed into the stool. Its presence speeds up the movement and processing of waste, helping prevent gastrointestinal blockage and constipation or reduced bowel movements.
• Lowering the risk of diverticular disease: By preventing constipation and intestinal blockages, insoluble fiber (fiber torch) helps reduce the risk of developing small folds and hemorrhoids in the colon. It may also reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
• Feeling satiated or full longer after meals: Soluble fiber slows down how quickly foods are digested, meaning most people feel full longer after fiber-rich meals. Insoluble fiber physically fills up space in the stomach and intestines, furthering the sensation of being full. These properties can help people manage their weight.
• Helping lower disease risk: Due to fiber’s many health benefits, a high-fiber diet is associated with a lower risk of many diseases, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and others.
