Digestion & Metabolism
Metabolism: Biosynthesis, fuel storage & excretion (i.e., expiration & urination)
-
-
-
-
Carbohydrates
Fibre
Insoluble: Non-dissolving/absorbing in water | E.g., Fruit & vegetable peels
-
-
Soluble: Dissolution/absorption by bacteria of the large intestine enables formation of gelatinous water solutions | Eg., Oats, apples, beans
-
-
Lowers blood cholesterol - via promotion of bile salt & cholesterol excretion achieved by the formation w gelatinous compounds which prevents bile salt & cholesterol recycling in the liver, stimulating LDL receptors
Glycemic Response: Measures the rate in which blood glucose rises in response to digestion/absorption of carbs.
-
-
Natural (ie. Whole): Fruits, vegetables, dairy, whole grains.
-
Fats
Transport & Absorption
-
HDL: Reverse cholesterol transport, returning excess to the liver
