Dietary fiber, found in plant foods, comes in two main types: Soluble fiber: Dissolves in water, forms a gel, slows digestion, and can help lower cholesterol and blood sugar. Insoluble fiber: Does not dissolve in water, adds bulk to stool, and promotes regular bowel movements. Both types are essential for a healthy diet.
