Weight management is mainly affected by heredity, behavior and environment, of which diet is the most important factor affecting weight stability. by increasing physical activity can improve weight gain. Viscous fiber such as pectin can reduces appetite more than less viscous fiber. Another study pointed out that pectin can increase satiety and reduce energy intake.
4. Beneficial for diarrheal diseases
   Most diarrheal illnesses last 5-7 days, these episodes are usually defined as acute diarrhea, when diarrhea lasts for more than 14 days, it is defined as chronic and persistent diarrhea, and is the second leading cause of death and hospitalization in children under the age of 5 mostly in low- and middle-income countries.  Pectin can significantly reduce stool volume, oral rehydration volume, intravenous fluid volume, frequency of vomiting, and duration of diarrhea.
