If we want to lose weight, regulate our digestion, blood sugar or eliminate toxins from the body, we can resort to psyllium bran.
Rich in fiber, psyllium bran regulates intestinal transit and detoxifies the body. The fibers act mechanically, they are not assimilated by the body, but only have the role of a laxative. “If you regularly consume psyllium bran, your colon will be cleansed, including of old residues, and the risk of cancer is greatly reduced,” .
Psyllium bran has the ability to “bind” water, which, when it reaches the stomach, swells and gives the feeling of satiety. “If you eat psyllium bran, your appetite will be reduced and, implicitly, you will lose weight. They also form a gel that absorbs toxins and reduces the risk of colon cancer.
Psyllium seeds are a natural laxative that does not have the side effects of synthetic ones. They restore the intestinal flora and relieve irritable bowel syndrome.
Researchers at the University of Ottawa have found that to lower cholesterol, psyllium seeds are more effective than using a low-fat diet. Psyllium bran also has the property of regulating blood sugar, as it prevents the rapid passage of glucose from the digestive tract into the blood.
Psyllium bran contains 14 times more soluble fiber than oats, appreciated until recently for its high fiber content. 100 g of psyllium contains about 71 g of soluble fiber, the same amount of oats – only 5 g of soluble fiber.
“Psyllium seeds or bran are added to 200 ml of natural juice, tea or water and drunk immediately because otherwise it quickly turns into a gel.”
“Fibers act in the gut like a sponge that absorbs toxins and stimulates transit.”
“Psyllium bran mixed with flax seeds prevents bloating.”
