10 Benefits Of Peas
Peas Benefit #6: Better Digestion
Most people do not get enough fiber in their diet. A lower fiber diet can cause constipation, decreased satiety, and even high cholesterol levels. There are two types of fiber: Insoluble and soluble fiber. Though different, both are important to our diet (8).
Soluble fiber pulls water and turns to gel during digestion, this slows the digestion process. This form is important as it attracts cholesterol and releases it from the body. Insoluble fiber, in which peas are high, helps with the movement of poop. This fiber helps with constipation and irregular stools.
