Soluble Fiber as related to Endurance…Staying Power:

FiberWater addresses endurance (staying power) on the fact that much of endurance has to do with the stability of blood glucose levels and not with the rapid rise in blood sugar which, may cause a dramatic “low” following the bodies outpour of insulin to counteract the ingestion of glucose.

A quick understanding of the glycemic index is in order to see how foods and beverages affect the rise in blood sugar is give here.  For more information on the glycemic index a link is provided at the end of this page.

The glycemic index is a useful tool that measures how fast a particular food is likely to raise your blood sugar. It can be very helpful in managing your blood sugars. For example, if your blood sugar is low or it is dropping during exercise, you would prefer to eat carbohydrates that raise your blood sugar quickly.

I f you want to keep your blood sugar from dropping during a few hours of mild activity, you might prefer to eat extra carbohydrate with a lower glycemic index and longer action time. And if your blood sugar tends to spike after breakfast, you would want to select a food with a lower glycemic index.

Glucose is given a value of 100---

A low-fiber meal is absorbed quickly into the blood and causes a surge in blood-sugar levels. Faster carbs (higher numbers) are great for raising low blood sugars and for covering brief periods of intense exercise.

A high fiber food, and or beverage, slows down the absorption of food. Slower carbs (lower numbers) are helpful for preventing overnight drops in the blood sugar and for long periods of exercise.

FiberWater taken alone, or in combination with a higher Glycemic Index food or beverage helps to keep insulin levels stabilized (helps the body handle changes in blood-sugar levels).

FiberWater is perfect for endurance. 

Hydration is critical for those who exercise as one looses much water through the system. The soluble fiber in FiberWater slows the absorption of glucose and adds staying power during endurance.
