Although the psyllium<\/strong> While it may not be an obvious supplement to support your health and performance goals, this soluble fiber offers a full range of benefits that may surprise you, no matter what your goals are.<\/p>\n

5 benefits of psyllium that you need to know<\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Glucose control<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Take psyllium<\/strong> would decrease glucose absorption and therefore help lower blood sugar levels.<\/h3>\n

For optimal action, it is more interesting to take the psyllium<\/strong> in the middle of the meal, in fact, mixing with water and food, the psyllium<\/strong> it swells and the sugar gets trapped: it will therefore be absorbed more slowly and less completely.<\/h3>\n

2. Improved cardiovascular health<\/strong><\/h3>\n

O psyllium<\/strong>, combined with good hygiene and diet, can lower bad cholesterol (LDL) levels. In 1999, a study of 34 men showed that taking 5.1 g per day of psyllium<\/strong> reduced LDL cholesterol level by 13%.<\/h3>\n

Another study concluded that a drug treatment against cholesterol was enhanced by the consumption of 5.1 g of psyllium<\/strong> per day.<\/h3>\n

3. Weight loss<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In contact with water, the seeds of psyllium<\/strong> swell in the stomach to occupy eight to twenty times their initial volume, like chia seeds.<\/p>\n

This creates a feeling of fullness that reduces hunger and makes you reduce the size of the portion you eat.<\/p>\n

For a good effect, before a meal, take 10 g of seeds with 100 ml of water and immediately drink another 200 ml of water.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Helps meet daily fiber recommendations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Each teaspoon of psyllium<\/strong> contains 5g of fiber, which is about 15% of your daily fiber requirement and the equivalent of 200g of steamed broccoli.<\/p>\n

    Since the average fiber intake is 10 to 15 g below the recommended values, especially for people who eat a low-carb diet, it is important to control your daily fiber intake.<\/p>\n

    Since low-fiber diets appear to be a risk factor for colon cancer, cardiovascular disease, and a host of other gastrointestinal issues, it's clear that this problem needs to be addressed.<\/p>\n

    While these benefits can be obtained from a variety of whole food sources, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of psyllium<\/strong> per day can help provide a quick and effective solution to fiber deficiencies in our diet.<\/p>\n

    5. Regulates the intestine<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Thanks to the exceptional rate of mucilage (cellulose and hemicellulose), the psyllium<\/strong> It is a formidable ally against constipation, but it is equally effective in cases of diarrhea: it is in fact a transit regulator, it acts by normalizing the consistency of the stool.<\/p>\n

    In fact, in case of constipation, the seeds of psyllium<\/strong> They will absorb a large volume of water and swell, forming a gel. This will stimulate peristalsis (intestinal movement), promoting a contraction of the intestinal walls: that is, the expulsion of feces is facilitated.<\/p>\n

    Although contradictory, the psyllium<\/strong> It will also be beneficial in case of diarrhea, the gel formed by the seed will increase the water retention capacity and delay gastric emptying: the stools will be less liquid and less frequent.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
