Excessive fiber (vegetable fiber) can lead to digestive disorders, as well as reduce iron, zinc and calcium. This was reported to Daily Mail, a registered dietitian of the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.
The specialist reminded that the most fiber is found in the foods of vegetable origin. These nutritional fibers are necessary to increase the volume of the isolate, to control the blood of blood sugar and remove the "bad" cholesterol from the body. However, their excess often leads to inflammation, constipation or diarrhea.
"Another problem is that the extremely use of fiber can interfuse the absorption of important minerals, including iron, zinc and calcium," said the doctor.
This is due to the phytattworth of fiber. Fytatttu connects iron ions in the stomach and prevents its absorption. In this case, the least available iron is from the vegetable product (non-hemat iron).
One of the most common consequences of iron deficiency is anemia. This pathology is characterized by a low level of hemoglobin, which leads to fatigue, weakness, breathing difficulty and skin pale.
The nutritioner added that there are no strict restrictions on the daily fiber intake. However, unwanted consequences may occur if eat more than 50 grams of food fiber a day.
