If you are a typical American eater, you don't get enough fiber. Current guidelines recommend that adults consume at least 28 grams of fiber per day or 14 grams per 1000 calories. According to many estimates, most of us get only 15 grams per day. As a result, many health-conscious consumers are turning to foods with added fiber like bars, shakes, and cereal to boost daily intake. But is added fiber healthy? And what is added fiber anyway? To get more fiber in your daily diet, you might try to consume foods that naturally contain fiber, like whole grains, fruits, or vegetables. But many of us also consume foods like snack bars or breakfast cereals with added fiber. Before 2016, there were roughly 26 different non-digestible carbohydrates that could be added to food to increase the amount of fiber provided by that product. These added fibers included both synthetic added fibers also called non-intrinsic fiber and isolated added fibers fiber that has been removed from a plant source, also called intrinsic fiber. When added to foods like cereal or baked goods, these added fibers help boost the number fiber grams listed on the Nutrition Facts label. But in 2016, the FDA made the decision to change its definition of dietary fiber to include only those that have been shown to provide a "beneficial physiological effect on human health." Surprisingly, only seven added fibers made the cut. FDA-approved added fibers have been shown to lower blood glucose, lower cholesterol, increase satiety the feeling of fullness that helps you eat less, or improve bowel function. 7 FDA-Approved Dietary Fibers Aside from naturally occurring fiber, these are the only fibers that meet the FDA's definition of dietary fiber and can boost the number of dietary fiber grams listed on the Nutrition Facts label. Beta-glucan soluble fiber, also called oat bran fiber Psyllium husk a soluble fiber that may relieve constipation and help with diarrhea Cellulose a non-soluble fiber that helps you to feel full, so you eat less Guar gum a soluble fiber that is often used as a thickener in foods Pectin a water-soluble fiber often added to jams and jellies Locust bean gum also known as carob gum, a thickening agent found in sauces and cereals Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose a soluble fiber that is found in some gluten-free foods While the technical definition of dietary fiber may not seem important to you as a consumer, you may notice changes when you search grocery store shelves for your favorite high fiber foods. Some popular forms of added fiber, like inulin chicory root, are not included on the FDA's new list of approved ingredients. Inulin is frequently added to yogurt, cereals, and other popular foods. Some manufacturers may have to swap ingredients to comply with new guidelines. You may notice a change in the taste or texture of products as a result, and other manufacturers may no longer be able to advertise that their foods are fiber-rich. Is Added Fiber Healthy? With all of the fuss about added fiber, you might wonder if these newly scrutinized fiber sources are healthy at all. This is a question that dietitians have been considering for some time. As the number of high fiber products has increased, so has consumer curiosity about their health benefits. Some nutrition experts worry that confusion over different types of added fiber may lead to changes in consumer food choices that aren't necessarily optimal. For example, some consumers who are meeting their dietary guidelines with approved or unapproved dietary fiber may no longer choose fiber-rich products and may fall short of the guideline as a result. Christen Cupples Cooper, EdD, RDN, is an Assistant Professor and Founding Director of the Nutrition and Dietetics Program at the College of Health Professions at Pace University. She explains that the debate isn't necessarily black and white "It is not wise to classify either type of fiber—intrinsic fiber, that which is found naturally in foods, and non-intrinsic fiber—as completely 'good' or 'bad.' Individual types of fiber appear to offer their own unique host of benefits. Many in the food industry warn the FDA that consumers who have begun including more high-fiber foods in their diet may stop eating such foods if certain types of “fiber” are removed from the acceptable list. Consumer advocates tend to favor the new definition and list because they believe that it reflects scientific evidence, not corporate interests." With the new definition of fiber and the resulting disagreement among some experts, many consumers may be left with questions about the best way to get more fiber to reach recommended guidelines. How to Get More Fiber in Your Diet Both Cooper and Spence agree that it is best to get fiber from whole natural foods. "I recommend that clients seek out foods with naturally-occurring fiber sources first—that means whole grains, beans, nuts, fruits, and vegetables—whenever possible," says Cooper. "This helps to ensure a diet not only plentiful in fiber, but also in other complex carbohydrates, healthful fats, vitamins, and minerals." Spence agrees, adding that intrinsic fiber is still the best way to fulfill your fiber recommendation. But both nutrition experts say that a little bit of extra fiber from quality, high-fiber processed foods can provide an extra kick when needed. 3 Steps To Meet Your Dietary Fiber Goals Switch to 100 percent whole grain products when it comes to bread and pasta and eat whole grains like oats for a vegetable or fruit every time you have an eating occasion whether it’s a meal or a beans every day. It can be in the form of hummus, mixed in a soup or stew, or replace meat with tofu or tempeh. A Word From Verywell The discussion about the different types of added fiber is ongoing. The Food and Drug Administration will continue to evaluate various non-digestible carbohydrates and may update the list of approved dietary fibers in the months or years to come, so check back to see updated guidelines and insights from experts as new recommendations and evidence becomes available.

Jakarta Vitamin memiliki peran yang sangat penting dalam menjaga daya tahan tubuh. Daya tahan tubuh yang kuat, diperlukan oleh tubuh dalam mencegah masuknya berbagai penyakit terutama dalam keadaan pandemi seperti sekarang. Akan tetapi, banyak orang yang masih merasa kebingungan kapan waktu yang tepat untuk mengonsumsi vitamin. Apakah sebelum makan atau sesudah makan? “Secara medis, sebetulnya vitamin dikonsumsi baik pada pagi hari sebelum aktivitas karena penyerapan-penyerapan vitamin akan lebih optimal metabolismenya sebelum melakukan aktivitas,” ujar dr. Carlinda Nekawaty, Medical Expert dari Combiphar dalam Virtual Media Briefing Combiphar Health Desk, Senin, 28 September 2020. Bagaimana tanggapan anda mengenai artikel ini? Menurut dr. Carlinda, mengonsumsi vitamin pada pagi hari sebelum melakukan aktivitas dapat meningkatkan metabolisme energi dan akan lebih meningkatkan serta membantu aktivitas. Selain itu, ia juga menyarankan agar mengonsumsi vitamin setelah makan. “Semua vitamin atau suplemen sebaiknya dikonsumsi setelah makan karena ketika dikonsumsi setelah makan, vitamin bisa berinteraksi dengan makanan. Dengan begitu, dapat membantu atau meningkatkan metabolisme atau penyerapan makanan yang kita konsumsi,” kata dr. Carlinda. Beberapa orang juga memilih untuk mengonsumsi vitamin atau suplemen sebelum tidur. Menurut dr. Carlinda, hal tersebut pada dasarnya tidak dianjurkan. “Ketika dikonsumsi sebelum tidur, maka efektivitas dari vitamin atau suplemen yang dikonsumsi tidak akan maksimal karena sebelum tidur tubuh kita tidak melakukan aktivitas apapun. Justru yang terjadi akan menyebabkan penumpukan yang tidak akan membantu penyerapan vitamin,”katanya. Kelebihan konsumsi vitamin juga memiliki efek yang tidak baik pada tubuh. “Komposisi dan dosis yang tidak tepat, terutama pada ibu hamil dan usia lanjut akan memiliki risiko tak hanya pada daya tahan tubuh tetapi juga kesehatan secara keseluruhan,” ujar dr. Carlinda. “Kekurangan vitamin C dan B akan berpotensi menimbulkan anemia, penyakit jantung, dan menurunya sistem imun. Jika berlebihan, juga dapat menimbulkan risiko mulai dari diare hingga batu ginjal,” tutupnya. YDH

Probiotik dikenal sangat baik untuk kesehatan pencernaan. Namun, apakah ada waktu terbaik untuk konsumsi probiotik?Istilah probiotik mungkin sudah tidak asing di telinga Anda. Kandungan yang sering ditemukan dalam minuman yoghurt ini memang sudah lama dikenal baik untuk kesehatan pencernaan dan mencegah sembelit. Namun begitu, adakah waktu khusus yang dinilai paling baik untuk mengonsumsi probiotik? Probiotik, apa itu? Probiotik adalah bakteri yang bermanfaat bagi kesehatan, khususnya di saluran pencernaan. Dikenal sebagai bakteri baik, probiotik dapat menjaga usus Anda tetap sehat dengan mencegah pertumbuhan organisme berbahaya. Selain itu, probiotik juga memperkuat struktur dinding mukosa usus, dan proses pemulihan dari penyakit atau obat-obatan seperti antibiotik. Kandungan ini dapat Anda peroleh dari makanan, minuman, atau suplemen. Beberapa mikroorganisme hidup dalam suplemen probiotik yang juga terdapat dalam makanan yang dibudidayakan atau difermentasi secara alami, seperti yoghurt, keju, dan kimchi. Tak hanya berguna untuk pencernaan, probiotik ini juga terkait dengan menurunkan tekanan darah, gula darah, kolesterol, dan berat badan. Jika dalam keseharian Anda tidak secara rutin mengonsumsi makanan fermentasi, mungkin bisa dipertimbangkan untuk mengonsumsi suplemen mikroba probiotik harus tahan terhadap asam dan enzim pencernaan sebelum memasuki usus besar Anda. Probiotik dalam kapsul, tablet, dan yoghurt cenderung bertahan terhadap asam lambung Anda lebih baik daripada bubuk, cairan, atau makanan atau minuman lain, terlepas kapan mereka itu, probiotik seperti Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, dan Enterococci lebih tahan terhadap asam lambung daripada jenis bakteri lainnya. Faktanya, sebagian besar Lactobacillus berasal dari saluran usus manusia, sehingga mereka lebih tahan terhadap asam lambung. Apakah waktu konsumsi probiotik berpengaruh? Beberapa produsen suplemen probiotik menyarankan untuk mengonsumsi probiotik saat perut kosong, sementara yang lain tidak memberikan aturan tertentu. Meskipun sulit untuk mengukur daya hidup bakteri pada manusia, beberapa penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mikroorganisme Saccharomyces boulardii bertahan dalam jumlah yang sama dengan atau tanpa konsumsi makanan terlebih sisi lain, Lactobacillus dan Bifidobacterium bertahan paling baik bila diminum hingga 30 menit sebelum makan besar. Namun, tingkat konsistensi atau kerutinan mungkin lebih penting daripada kapan konsumsi probiotik studi selama satu bulan menemukan bahwa probiotik menyebabkan perubahan positif pada mikrobioma usus jika dikonsumsi saat makan atau sesudah makan. Komposisi makanan juga memengaruhi Mikroorganisme di dalam probiotik sudah diuji untuk memastikan bahwa mereka dapat bertahan hidup dalam berbagai kondisi di perut dan usus manusia. Namun begitu, mengonsumsi probiotik dengan makanan tertentu ternyata dapat mengoptimalkan sebuah studi, kelangsungan hidup mikroorganisme dalam probiotik meningkat saat dikonsumsi bersama oatmeal atau susu rendah lemak, dibandingkan dengan air atau jus apel. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sejumlah kecil lemak dapat meningkatkan kelangsungan hidup bakteri di saluran pencernaan Lactobacillus mungkin juga dapat bertahan lebih baik bersama gula atau karbohidrat. Penyebabnya, aktivitas mereka bergantung pada glukosa ketika berada dalam lingkungan yang kapan waktu terbaik untuk konsumsi probiotik? Sebenarnya, tidak ada aturan baku mengenai waktu terbaik ini. Probiotik bisa bertahan dengan atau tanpa makan terlebih dahulu. Namun, agar manfaatnya bisa maksimal pada usus dan pencernaan, sebaiknya Anda mengonsumsi probiotik setiap hari secara rutin.

You may have heard about fiber. It’s often talked about as part of improving your health and lifestyle through nutrition. Considering fiber is such an essential nutrient for our health and wellbeing and offers many additional benefits, it’s surprising that we fail to consume the recommended daily intake. On average, American adults eat 10 to 15 grams of total fiber per day, even though the USDA recommends 25g for women and 38g for men per Still, it can be a tricky nutrient to get enough of, particularly if you have specific dietary requirements or more unique needs, this is when a fiber supplement can come in handy! Fiber supplements are generally recommended to be taken before meals with a glass of water. However, are there any benefits to taking fiber before meals? What would happen if you took it after a meal? Let’s explore this further! Fiber A Brief Overview Fiber is the part of plant foods that cannot be digested - also known as roughage or bulk. It’s a type of complex carbohydrate, so it does not raise blood sugar levels like simple carbohydrates do, such as white bread, pasta, or sweets. We need fiber for the smooth running of our digestive system and to avoid constipation. There are two types of fiber SolubleEasily dissolves in water and is broken down into a gel-like substance in the colon. InsolubleDoes not dissolve and is left intact as it moves through the gut. High-fiber foods often contain a mix of soluble and insoluble fiber. From a health standpoint, consuming adequate amounts of fiber can reduce bad cholesterol, lower blood glucose levels, and help maintain good bowel health, which all protect against digestive issues, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. High-fiber foods include Whole grains Barley Oatmeal Beans and pulses Nuts and seeds Fruits, such as apples and pears Vegetables Why Would We Need a Fiber Supplement? Fiber can be difficult to get enough of, especially as we live in a world surrounded by highly processed foods that typically lack this essential nutrient! A supplement can be useful for those who have specific needs or even for those who want some additional benefits for improving their gut health, including, but not limited to, fat loss. What Are The Main Benefits of Fiber Supplementation? Bowel Health The main benefit of increasing your fiber intake, whether through food or with a supplement, is improvements in your bowel health. Fiber adds bulk to your stool, making it much easier to pass through your digestive system. This would reduce your risk of any digestive conditions and would help relieve symptoms of other conditions such as irritable bowel disorders, constipation, and diarrhea. Heart Health Increasing fiber intake would help lower total blood cholesterol levels by reducing the amount of bad’ LDL cholesterol in your system, decreasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. Stabilizing Blood Sugar As fiber takes a lot longer to digest because of the roughage, it would also slow the digestion and absorption of other foods, particularly sugar. This would help control your blood sugar levels and control any potential spikes. Weight Management Taking a fiber supplement before a meal would help you feel full and keep you satisfied for longer. This would make it less likely for you to overeat or snack soon after your meal, thus consuming less food which would help you manage your weight. The Best Time to Take Fiber It is often recommended to take a fiber supplement up to twice per day, before a meal, and with a glass of water. This would ensure you’re keeping your digestive system balanced throughout the day. If weight management is important to you, you could take fiber before each meal at breakfast, lunch, and dinner to ensure you’re keeping fuller for longer, which reduces the risk of overeating. With our popular Performance Lab Prebiotic supplement, we'd recommend taking three capsules with your first meal of the day, then a further three capsules with your next meal. This helps support digestion, immune function, and fat loss, with the additional benefits of prebiotics! Consuming a fiber supplement before meals would ensure the fiber gets where it needs to go in your digestive system before you consume your meal and would also ensure you remember to take it each time, which is key to reaping the health benefits. A Final Word Fiber is a crucial nutrient that you shouldn’t overlook! It’s important to get enough fiber through food, which is often achievable when you have a healthy, balanced diet. Though in some cases, or for additional benefits, a supplement may be a worthwhile consideration. To ensure proper absorption, we'd highly recommend taking a fiber supplement before mealtimes, which will also provide you with additional benefits, including fat loss and keeping you fuller for longer! As with any supplement, you should consult your doctor before taking, particularly if you are currently on medication. References Bliss, R. 2017 Online Nutrition Resources at Your Fingertips.
