Fiber comes in two forms.Soluble⁴ fiber,found in fruits, vegetables，beans and whole grains，makes you feel full quickly. Insoluble fiber, found in the peels，stalks，skins and husks of fruits，vegetables and whole grains，is harder to digest and helps relieve constipation.It’s also been linked to preventing certain kinds of cancer.

纤维质有两种。一是可溶性纤维质，水果、蔬菜、豆类及全谷粒食品中均含有此类纤维质，可让你很快就有饱足感。另一类则是不可溶性纤维质，水果、蔬菜及全谷粒食品的外皮、梗部均含有此类纤维质，因较不易消化，故对便秘很有帮助。纤维质也和预防某些癌症有所关联。
