Fiber is key in helping keep you regular and also in aiding your body in getting rid of nasty toxins. Here's why you should include it in your diet:

1. Digestive Problems
Psyllium is important to improve the functionality and efficiency of the digestive system by binding with water in the gut. If you are suffering from diarrhea, psyllium can help to bulk up your stool and normalize your bowel movements. If you struggle with constipation issues, it can also help reduce that discomfort, as it can stimulate peristaltic motion and keep your bowels moving smoothly. It can also help reduce straining and inflammation, which can help eliminate hemorrhoids and gastric ulcers. 

2. Blood Pressure
Psyllium is one of the few compounds that are consistently shown to reduce blood pressure in those who frequently consume it. Although you can't call it a vasodilator, psyllium can certainly ease the tension on blood vessels and arteries of the heart.  

3. Heart health
Research has shown that regular use of soluble fiber help to manage cholesterol levels. Proper cholesterol regulation is essential for everyone, but vital for people over the age of 50. Research shows that at least six weeks of daily psyllium intake is an effective way for people who are obese or overweight to lower their cholesterol with very few side effects.
If you've been told that you need to watch your cholesterol, ask your doctor if adding psyllium to a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet will help you.

Dietary fiber which is found abundantly in psyllium helps to create the feeling of fullness.  That sense of satiety is very important for people looking to cut down on their weight. By preventing between-meal snacking, psyllium supplements can keep your energy levels up without adding on the pounds. Oat bran often consists of psyllium, and is a popular choice as a healthy snack.

Psyllium can significantly affect the health of the heart by lowering cholesterol. Dietary fiber helps to decreases the amount of cholesterol absorbed from food, preventing it from sticking in the arteries and blood vessels.

It does not, however, reduce the amounts of good cholesterol (HDL), which keeps your cholesterol levels balanced and healthy. Furthermore, it stimulates the production of bile, which further uses cholesterol.

12. Detoxify the Body
Although psyllium mucilage is often called a laxative, it is just a highly efficient type of dietary fiber. However, it does effectively detoxify the body, as cleansing out the gastrointestinal system can also be very cleansing and beneficial for overall gut health. 

13. Treat Acidity
Psyllium husk is a great remedy for acidity. When psyllium husk is consumed, it coats your stomach lining with a great protective layer and thus protects it from the irritation caused due to acidity.
