Vegetarian Wrap
Wraps are a go-to lunch for many people. This grilled veggie and hummus wrap is delicious, easy to prepare, and healthy!
Many of the ingredients in this recipe are great sources of dietary fiber, which can improve digestive health. On average, one zucchini provides 2 grams of dietary fiber. Hummus provides 6 grams per every 6.3 oz. serving and kale 2.6 grams per cup. Fiber is crucial to promoting probiotic health. A fiber-rich diet can help feed your gut microbiome.
Did You Know
There are two types of fibers that the body needs: soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers are fibers that easily dissolve in water and turn into a gel-like substance that aids digestion in a number of ways. It can help improve your body's blood glucose levels and may help lower the risk of diabetes.
Insoluble fibers are fibers that do not dissolve in water. These fibers pass through your digestive tract and help soften stool so that waste can pass through your body easier. These fibers primarily help improve and maintain regularity, but they also help support insulin sensitivity, which also decreases the risk of developing diabetes.
When combined with probiotics, both of these fiber types help properly extract nutrients from food and expel waste from the body with more ease. Both of these fibers are necessary for probiotics to function properly and help prevent excess fats from being stored during a weight loss regimen.
