Document Summary
Figure h4-1: macronutrients available per capita over time. Is a hydrate of carbon : manufactured by plants. Soluble fibre gives a fullness sensation b/c of gel form. Insoluble fibre speeds up gastric motility helps absorb water from digestive system into cardiovasc which , decreases absorption time, decrease chance of type 2 diabetes. Too much insoluble fiber in diet reduces the time for absorption since motility is so fsat that it can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Storage form of glucose glycogen resides in skeletal muscle starch (amylopectin and amylose) & fibre. Liver cells store glucose as glycogen in a very dense form. Amylose 25% of starch that we find in plant based foods. Dietary fibre naturally occurring fibre, can"t break it down into individual glucose units don"t get the glucose absorbed into the cardiovasc system, reduces carbohydrate bioavailability. Functional fibre: refers to added fibre to food, occurs during manufacturing and food processing periods , could be natural or synthetic.
