Benefits of psyllium
Fibre. A word that is used in so many advertisements and dietary recommendations that it makes your head spin. But do you have enough of it in your diet? If you do not want to use supplements from a pharmacy, but rather stick to the natural way, try psyllium.
''Jitrocel vejčitý'', as psyllium is called in Czech, is considered a plant with many benefits because of its magical seeds. It is commonly found in India but has also found its place in the Mediterranean and the Arabian Peninsula. It is part of Ayurvedic medicine. Especially in its homeland, India, it is an everyday part of the diet for its benefits. It is even used there instead of sourdough in baking bread.
It is not a tall herb, reaching a maximum of 10 to 15 centimetres. The fruit of the psyllium are capsules containing tiny seeds. There can be up to fifteen thousand of these seeds per plant. These are cleaned, and their husks are further processed.
The husks have a tremendous absorption capacity. They can soak up incredible amounts of water to form a gelatinous mass. It may not look appealing, but its effects make up for it. This dissolved fibre transfers energy better and processes sugars and fats in the body more easily. At the same time, it also gives a feeling of satiety more quickly.
However, if you do not want to wait for the husks of the grains to swell, you can try ground psyllium. It is a fine, light-coloured powder that is more or less tasteless and odourless and can be dissolved in water or juice or eaten straight but should always be thoroughly washed down.
If you follow a sufficient drinking regime, you can take psyllium for any length of time and without restrictions, regardless of age.
