Slow Oxidative: These muscle fibers twitch at a very slow rate and are very resistant to fatigue. The peak force exerted by these muscles is also very low. Slow muscle fibers have a lot of oxidative enzymes but they are low in ATP activity. Slow oxidative fibers are used for aerobic activities Fast-glycolytic fibers: Some muscle fibers can contract at a fast rate and produce a large peak force while being resistant to tiring even after many cycles. These fibers are have a large ATP activity and are high in oxidative and glycolytic enzymes. These fibers are used for anaerobic activities that need to be sustained over prolonged intervals of time.

Is velvet a synthetic or natural fiber?

Velvet is not a fiber per-se. It is a type of cloth produced by a particular method of weaving on a special loom. It can be made for either natural or synthetic fibers. Natural fibers you might expect to find in velvet include cashmere wool, silk, and cotton. Synthetic fibers that have been substituted for these natural fibers usually can also be woven into velvet fabric.

Is yarn a type of fiber?

Yarn is made of fibers either twisted together, extruded, reeled or otherwise formed into a long strand. Many different fibers might be used to make yarn. The most popular is wool from sheep, but the hair of alpacas, llamas, rabbits, goats, camels, buffalo, and even dogs and cats can be spun into yarn. Other animal fibers include silk from the silkworm and even from milk. Cellulose (plant) fibers, such as cotton, linen, hemp, bamboo, and even corn, soy, seaweed and wood pulp can be made into yarns. Artificial fibers like acrylic can also be used to make yarn.

How can a higher fiber diet help weight loss?

Fibers can be a natural appetite suppressant. Fibers found in food delays the stomach contents from exiting so the food assimilates slowly, thus making you feel full for a longer time. There are plenty of fiber rich foods to have. Vegetable and fruits alone can have incredible varieties. Aside from fibers, the vegetables the fruits also contain pectin and enzymes to facilitate proper digestion and appetite suppressing properties. A natural appetite suppressant fiber has two types, namely the soluble, and insoluble, both essential to health and weight loss. The insoluble fiber cannot be digested and serves as a "broom" for the colon. It cleanses the colon to get rid of deep seated dirt, excess water, toxin, and fatty deposits. If the colon is clogged with impurities, the nutrients cannot be absorbed by the colon. A clean colon is also free from risk of having polyps growing in that might be cancerous. Finally, fibers are natural appetite suppressant due to its ability to help increase the metabolic rate of the body. If the person has high metabolism, weight loss is achieved because the fats do not propagate. Instead the energy is produced when the food calories are properly assimilated. If you eat lots of fiber rich foods, you can achieve weight loss because of the wonderful things fiber can do, including the most notable attribute as the natural appetite suppressant.
