Fibre is essential to human health. Many are tempted to ensure their consumption of fibre by using just one source, usually whole grains. Unfortunately, eating too much wheat fibre alone can cause unexpected results, such as acid stomach, and, surprisingly, constipation. Fibre from whole grains must be supplemented. Beans and peas are as useful as whole grains as sources of fibre.
Legumes have high fibre content. Much of this fibre is water- soluble, which makes legumes likely agents for lowering cholesterol. Soyabeans, besides this, can also help control glucose levels.
