Answer:
The correct answer is: soluble fiber.
Explanation:
Soluble fiber is a type of dietary fiber that can be dissolved in water and is commonly fermented in the colon to produce short-chain fatty acids, which are lipids of <u>great importance to gastrointestinal health</u>.
It has been proved that soluble fiber can bind bile and prevents its reabsorption, which can <u>lower cholesterol</u> and thus increase a person's overall health.
Examples of food with soluble fiber include <u>apples, oatmeal, nuts and beans.</u>
