What is the difference between fibre and protein and how do they help the human body when consumed?

Additional Details
And what are some foods that are rich in fibre and other foods that are rich in protein?

Protein is from meat and fibre is for cleaning you out.

Proteins are amino acids with long-chained molecules and
are found plenty in meat and poultry. They help new cells in
the body to grow and thus strengthens the body muscles.
Whereas fibres are fillers which aid digestion in the stomach
and bowel system. They are indigestible stuff which are
found highly in fruits and vegetables and are excreted through
the digestive tract.

fibre is matrial that helps the body break down and process, in tern expell any food consumed by humans, and protein is a vitimam that is high in iron, helps in looseing weight, rapidly, but if not monetered very carefully can cause kidney problems or damage. HI levels of protein without proper amounts of water intake and expell can cause serious problems and possible kidney damage.

Fiber helps empty your colon, protein builds muscle

If you mean carbohydrates, those are broken down into simple sugars.
Protein becomes amino acids.
Fiber is indigestable material that are 'eliminated'. Or in other words, removed from your body as solid waste.

fiber is a carb that can't be digested
protein is what muscles and other cells are made of.
fiber can be found in many things like whole wheat, many fruits and vegetables (mostly in the skins). protein can be found in meats, beans and nuts.

I think fiber helps keep your digestive tract regular and i think protein has something to do with bone production and/or helps the bones in some way.


Just_gone
Fiber is the indigestable parts of plants, good for the intestines, and blood sugar regulation. Proteins are built from amino acids and in turn build muscle.
Fruit, veg, and whole grains have fiber. Soy is the only 100% complete source of protein, and easiest to digest for most people. Eggs are next. Steak has it but is slow to digest and leaves a residue.
Take acidophilus and bifidis pills to replace bacteria needed for digestion. I have no indigestion or gas.

ok fibre is in vegtable ,bran,cereals,bread,fruit,dried fruits and when comsumed it help kick out watsed products in the gut....
and proteins such as meats,cheeses ,pulses, beans, nuts and seeds repair musles and tissue and protects red blood cells to stop blood from clotting...


Jesus S
protein makes tissue such as muscle while fiber cleans you stomage and helps you "stay regular"
for protein i eat:eggs, chiken, fish, beef, and also lots of carbs

fiber : cerieal, grains, nuts(also protein), or fiber capsules


Jamie
fibre is undigestable stuff, protein is what makes our bodies grow and maintain muscle. I f you want something that contains both try brown beans. Fibre and protien all in one.


dancer6991
well my doctor told me that protein helps you to heal better for example I have cancer and I had radiation on my head and neck so my neck was all red the skin peeled and it hurt very badly so I guess getting more protein would help it get back to normal better


friend
evryone who answered this is absolutely correct

Proteins are the building blocks of our bodies and are great source for long term energy needs. Fiber (water soluble are the best) does not give energy or molecules for growth but are good for helping eliminate toxins.


sunshine_today
protein helps you build muscle. Fiber helps move stuff through your system and out the back door.

How about a simple answer? Fiber is the 'roughage' of a fruit or vegetable. It is usually the peel, but not always. Protein is for energy. It can come from plants (like nuts do) or animals (such as meat). Nuts can also be fiber, depending on what kind you eat and how processed they are. Hope this helps.

Protein helps muscle growth, and fiber is a substance that the body doesn't absorb so it just comes out your rear.

previous poster gave good description. Foods high in with protein are beef, fish, chicken, milk, eggs. Foods high in fiber are often green leafy vegatables and fruit.

Protein - filling, used for building muscle,

Fiber - carbohydrate (a good one), also filling and used by body for energy and for stimulating proper digestion.


Ayaan_genius
fibre and proteins are totally different...proteins are made up of amino acids while fibers are made up of long thread like structures...proteins are usually used by the body as a building block...the body uses protein as a source of energy only when carbohydrates are insufficient in amount.fibres are used for muscle development n proper digestion because they act as a grinding machine in stomach

Hi Suzie,

Fiber is certain plant materials that are actually not digestable. One of the key components is a substance called cellulose. Due to the fact that our stomach and intestines do not break these materials down for absorbtion into the bloodstream they form what is called bulk and this exercises the digestive system so to speak.Fruits and vegetables are the best sources of fiber.

Proteins are chemicals that are found in both plant and animal products that are digestable. In other words, our bodies can break them down and absorb them. They are the building blocks of life and make up almost everything in our bodies. They are very heavily concentrated in muscle, but are everwhere withing us.

fiber is what helps you do...well i'll just say #2.protiens are for making you stronger.


verbumheros
I'll give you a basic overview because there is an overwhelming baseof information i could flood you with, most of which is useless

Proteins are used to rebuild torn down muscle fibers, as you use muscles they are always tearing and the rebuilding process is what makes them stronger. therefore better rebuilding means better gains in muscle strength. it can be found in eggs and meats. an average hardboiled egg has 11 grams of protein. you're body needs 0.9 to 1.5 times your weight in pounds of grams of protein daily if you are looking for the most efficient results (if you way 100 pounds, intake 90-150 grams of protein a day, protein shakes are necesary for these amounts usuall..)

Fibre is helpful in your digestive system because it cannot be digested. therefore its like a broom, it goes through pushing out bad stuff and well any stuff along the proper passages. enough fiber can significantly reduce your bodies likelihood of getting colon cancer etc. it'll make you more 'regular' towards bathroom trips. best place to find it is in your greens. wheatgrass juice has a LOT of fibre in it, and chased with a slice of orange aint so bad. for getting wheat grass you'll have to stop by your local smoothie or juice place (like a jamba juice, etc)

fiber is the part of food that does not get digested in your body. (its usually made up of glucose, normally glucose is digested in your body, but glucose in the fiber is linked together is such a way that the body cannot break down this link, or we do not have the enzymes in our body that can break these links, cows and some other herbivorous have these enzymes and thus they can digest it we cannot) its passed out un-changed. Proteins are what muscles are made up of. (Proteins are long chains of amino acids)
Their functions.
Well fibers help to keep the digestive track clean, and help prevent against constipation.
Proteins are what we are made up of, they help to build new muscles, heal wounds.

If your body is a super highway, then protein would be the semi-trailers carring good stuff from point to point.
Fiber would be the street sweeper that keeps the roads clean.

Proteins are long chain molecules that are made up of amino acids and fibre is its own molecule that helps aid digestion and keeps everything "running" as some people say.
Protein aids the growth of new cells and growth of the body itself.


grace_hu
Most vegetables and fruits are high in fiber.
Most meat products are high in protein.

Fiber helps waste move in the digestive tract and helps with your health.

Protein contain amino acids that are the building blocks for muscles


TychaBrahe
Fiber is cellulose, the stuff that makes up the cell linings in plants. Any plant has fiber, but processing can take it out. Fresh fruit, raw or steamed vegetables, and whole grains are full of fiber.

Protein are combinations of amino acids. You can make your own proteins from amino acids in different plants, or you can take a shortcut and eat meat, where the previous owner of the meat has done this for you.

Protein is used to build muscles are grow bones, hair, nails, and organs.

Fiber is not used by the body, and that is why we need it. It is passed out through the intestine and helps to keep fecal matter moving. Protein, sugars, and fats convert to urine, and a diet that is low in fiber will not provide enough bulk to move stuff through the intestine. This slowness is associated with colon cancer. Animals that are supposed to only eat meat have a much lower ratio of short intestine to body length than animals that are supposed to only eat plants. Humans are somewhere in between, indicating that we are supposed to be omnivores.

In addition, the body pulls cholesterol from the blood to help lubricate the fiber, so fiber helps lower serum cholesterol.

What is dietary fiber?
Dietary fiber is the term for several materials that make up the parts of plants your body can't digest. Fiber is classified as soluble or insoluble.
When eaten regularly as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, soluble fiber has been shown to help lower blood cholesterol. Oats have the highest proportion of soluble fiber of any grain. Foods high in soluble fiber include oat bran, oatmeal, beans, peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits, strawberries and apple pulp.
Insoluble fiber doesn't seem to help lower blood cholesterol. However, it's an important aid in normal bowel function. Foods high in insoluble fiber include whole-wheat breads, wheat cereals, wheat bran, rye, rice, barley, most other grains, cabbage, beets, carrots, Brussels sprouts, turnips, cauliflower and apple skin.
What is Protein?
PROTEINS - Highly complex nitrogenous compounds found in all animal and vegetable tissues. They are built up of amino acids and are essential for growth and repair of the body.
Proteins are the primary component of numerous body tissues. They are the main component of muscle tissue. Protein helps muscle development, increases strength, and improves athletic performance.
Proteins also make up the outer layers of hair, nails and skin.

So to recap, Proteins are for growth and repair of the body and Fiber fiber mainly helps lower cholesterol and aid in normal bowel function.

I hope this helps……
