Soluble Fibre:
Soluble Fibre otherwise known as Beta-Glucan is the one out of the two fibres that produces positively affects your cholesterol levels. Soluble fibre has been clinically proven to visibly help to regulate your cholesterol levels.
Whereas, wheat only has insoluble fibre, on the other hand, Elkris Super-Oat contains both soluble and insoluble fibre.
Insoluble Fibre:
Because Insoluble Fibre does not adsorb or dissolve in water; it helps to bulk up waste as it passes through the digestive system. In the process, it helps to cleanse the digestive system, aid weight loss, help protect against colon cancer, and prevent constipation. Wheat is known to contain a lot of insoluble fibre.
Where Cholesterol Comes From:
The cholesterol in your blood stream comes from two sources;
How Soluble Fibre Work To Lower Your Cholesterol:
The extra fortified soluble fibre in Elkris Super-Oat will first dissolve in your digestive system and form a thick gel-like substance. And like a soft sponge, the gel-like soluble fibre (a.k.a beta-glucan) has a way of surgically selecting and soaking up the glucose (cholesterol) content in your intestine thereby preventing it from being absorbed into the blood stream. The spongy gel is finally passed out of the body as waste.
One other way that soluble fibre helps to lower your blood cholesterol is through its ability to reduce thee amount of bile reabsorbed into your blood stream from the intestine. It works like this; when fibre interferes with absorption of bile in the intestines, the bile is excreted together with your body waste. And to make up for this loss of bile, the liver will then need to produce more bile-salts. But what you may not have realised is that your liver uses part of your bad cholesterol in order to make more bile-salts. Therefore the more bile-salts that are produced by your liver, the more of the bad cholesterol known as LDL that is removed from your blood stream.
Recent studies suggest that there's one more way that beta-glucan helps to lower your blood cholesterol. It is believed that a fatty acid produced during the fermentation of soluble fibre while in the large intestine helps to reduce the amount of blood cholesterol produced by your liver. However, there's more studies to be done before this particular soluble fibre benefit can be confirmed.
Evidence suggests that more than 11g of beta-glucan from oats can lower bad cholesterol by up to 14.5 percent. Meanwhile, an average serving of Elkris Super-Oat afro-dish contains not less than 20g of beta-glucan.
- your liver manufactures and supplies about 75-80% of your total blood cholesterol
- the rest comes from the food you eat, and is absorbed into your blood stream through your intestine
