Psyllium husk, a type of fibre found in the seeds of the plantago species, has been used for generations as an all-natural treatment for digestive issues like constipation. Recent studies of psyllium husk’s purported health advantages have found the following benefits:
Psyllium husk is a natural laxative that may aid with constipation and encourage regular bowel movements for digestive health. It encourages bowel movements by increasing stools caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Psyllium husk might have prebiotic properties, which means it helps healthy flora grow and work in the digestive tract. This may have a beneficial effect on immunological function and general digestive health. We are learning more and more about how important our microflora is. The billions of organisms that live inside each one of us are vital to digestion, immunity, brain function, and more. It is a very exciting research area that has been overlooked until quite recently.
Psyllium husk has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels, so it may be good for heart health. It lowers cholesterol absorption by binding to bile acids in the colon and causing them to be flushed out of the body. As a result, your LDL cholesterol (the “bad” cholesterol) levels may go down along with your risk of heart disease.
Psyllium husk may aid in weight reduction and maintenance. It works by expanding in the presence of water in the digestive tract to form a gel-like substance, delaying hunger signals, and slowing the digestion process.
Psyllium husk may benefit people with diabetes by facilitating better glucose regulation. The mechanism of action is a reduction in the rate at which carbohydrates are absorbed into the bloodstream. Psyllium husk may also increase insulin sensitivity and lessen the likelihood of diabetes-related problems.
