Fibre is a kind of food in the form of a complex carbohydrate which is usually found in vegetable cell walls. It can't be digested and can't by the human digestive system but it is very important for health maintenance, prevention against illness and as a component for nutrient therapy.

According to the physical characteristics and its impact to the body, fibre is divided in two large groups, which are soluble and insoluble fibre. But to fulfill our needs for both kinds of fibre is not that simple, because one has to consume a complete and balance diet like carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamin and mineral.

Yes, broken glass exists, but it is not "all over the place" even on city streets. Unless it's a recent breakage, it gets kicked or swept into cracks, against walls, or right against curbs and isn't strewn about. For the little glass that does remain, again, just watch where you're going! But, for the seasoned barefooter with tough, thick soles, most broken glass is not a problem even if you step directly on it. The following paragraph was contributed by Neil Kelley.

Fibre is a much more superior medium to work with - it's easily styled, is less costly, is perhaps more ethically suitable and, most importantly, looks, feels and behaves just like human hair.

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. See similar questions...

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.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Since I didn't give you my aerobic workout and cardiovascular regime in my last e-mail (which is below your e-mail), I would like to do that now. I run for 30 minutes (about 3-3.5 miles) every other day. I also use stairmaster machines for 20 minutes every other day. Then, I lift weights that concentrate on my arms, such as my triceps, biceps, and shoulders. See similar questions...
