Why is fiber so important as part of the first meal of the day?


Soluble fibers, found in the flesh of fruits, help to slow the absorption of simple sugars into the blood. This will minimize the possibility of a blood glucose spike. Also insoluble and soluble fibers help keep a person full so that they don't get hungry so quickly.
