These fibers prolong the intestinal phase of digestion and absorption. This provides a good time for macronutrients to trigger the signals of satiation and thus prevent in over eating. This property of dietary fiber is highly beneficial in weight management.

Pomegranate is a great source of dietary fiber. They consist of around 11.3 g per fruit providing 45% of the daily need of dietary fiber.
