What is the exact amount of fibre for each person in Indonesia and other countries?

Vegeta

This amount shows that Indonesian people only fulfill 1/3 of their ideal fibre needs which is about 30 gm per day. What's more surprising is that the average fibre consumption of people in Yogyakarta is higher than West Java. This proves that to fulfill fibre needs, it is better to eat a variety of food, not just vegetables.

What is soluble fibre?

FIBRELifeTM
Soluble fibre dissolves and thickens in water. Soluble fibre is probably best known for its cholesterol-lowering effect. Soluble fibre is made up of sticky substances like gums and pectin, which form a gel-like substance in the presence of liquid. Cholesterol that is stored in the blood is used to produce bile acids; and therefore, as the gel binds the cholesterol and bile acids in the small intestine, it is eliminated from our body with regular bowel movements.

Silk is not a form of animal hair, however, but the thread that a silkworm (which is not in fact a worm, but a caterpillar) produces to make its cocoon. Silk is therefore much lighter than animal hair, but it is also very strong. It is coated with a natural glue, known as sericin, secreted by the silkworms.
