Who will benefit particularly from dietary fiber

A number of observational studies has shown that a diet with a lot of insoluble fiber in front of type-2 Diabetes, protects. Scientists from the German Institute for nutritional research Potsdam-Rehbrücke (DIfE) have now found out that some people benefit strongly from a high-fiber diet.

In a study of 180 persons with a precursor of Diabetes, it showed that particularly people with a raised fasting blood sugar is often associated with a fatty liver, benefited fabrics of plenty of fiber. Study leader Dr. Stefan Kabisch from the DIfE concluded: "The results indicate that insoluble fiber actually act on the blood sugar, and possibly also to other metabolic sites. Thus, the glucose tolerance improved, especially in the case of participants with a in addition, elevated blood sugar, and Obese, the inflammatory values, if they were in the high-fiber group."

On the way to individualized Ernämanagement recommendations

The study participants were divided into two groups, of which the participants of the first group every day for two years, two high-fiber Oat-rich have taken to drink. The participants in the other group were given a similar drink, but without the fiber.

In a next step, the researchers now want to investigate the relationships between fatty liver, certain biomarkers, and improvement of metabolism by dietary fiber, so that you may make in the future individualized diet recommendations.
