How Fiber Can Improve Your Health

By Wanda McCall

Fiber rich foods should be a main part of your diet. Why? Because, to begin with, they give you just what you need to get up and go. The result is, like my gramps said, You can feel pleased with yourself.

Foods loaded in fiber promote regularity and stop constipation. They melt and increase stool bulk, helping to move waste and toxins more effectively and effectively thru the bowel, which alleviates irregularity and bowel problems. Dietary fiber eliminates the necessity for harmful laxatives and helps prevent hemorrhoids and colon cancer.

But promoting healthy bowel movements isn't the only advantage of fiber rich food. They also lower cholesterol reducing risk of heart problems and normalize blood sugar levels preventing the onset of diabetes. Additionally, fiber, by making you feel fuller, is a great help in weight reduction and optimum weight maintenance.

In other words, fiber rich food not only help you to feel better. They help you look better too. So what's not to like?

Which foods, then, are the highest in fiber? The answer is simple! Plant foods! Fiber is largely the edible but indigestible parts of all plant foods - fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, seeds and nuts. This implies you won't find any fiber in beef, fish, poultry or dairy foods. You can find specific foods at this list of high fiber foods.

Sadly, the Standard Yankee Diet ( S.A.D. For short ) of burgers, fries and shakes is fantastically low in dietary fiber. Only about 5% of the populace are getting the suggested twenty-two to 38 grams of daily fiber. That's the reason why many millions of people in the U.S. Suffer from frequent hard stools and spend many millions of greenbacks annually for diuretics and other over the counter relief.

So if you're looking for relief of trots or would like to help forestall hemorrhoids, colon cancer, heart illness and diabetes, start to eat more fiber rich fruits and veggies, whole grain bread and pasta, brown rice, beans and heaps of nuts and seeds. - 17274
