About Psyllium
Psyllium, derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, is a natural source of soluble fiber commonly used for its health benefits. Native to India, psyllium has been a staple in traditional remedies and is now widely utilized in nutrition for promoting digestive health. It works as a gentle bulk-forming laxative, aiding in regular bowel movements and alleviating symptoms of constipation. Psyllium is also known for its ability to lower cholesterol levels and support heart health. Incorporating it into your diet can improve blood sugar control, making it beneficial for individuals managing diabetes. While psyllium is generally considered safe, consuming it with inadequate water may lead to discomfort or blockages. Available as husk, powder, or capsules, psyllium can be mixed into smoothies, sprinkled over meals, or baked into recipes for added fiber. Its versatility and nutritional benefits make it a valuable addition to a balanced diet.
