Fiber-rich food is the best nutrition for dieting
In this article I will reveal some little known facts about the
fibers and the beneficial effect they have over your body.
First of all let me explain what fiber is...
Fiber is an indigestible part of all plant foods. It is found in
fruits, vegetables, grains and beans. Your digestive system
cannot stomach fiber, so it is excreted undigested. Well, you
may think you don't need fiber, because it's excreted
undigested, but that's not true.
Let's imagine the following picture:
You overeat at least once or twice a week, more often at
weekends, and your regular menu doesn't include much fiber.
Well, this might be your life style; however you should consider
that it may cause you lots of health problems like:
- indigestion - discomfort stomach aches - gases in the
digestive tract - constipation - hemorrhoids - you got tired
faster - can't concentrate on what you're doing
I mean you become less productive at work and more irritable at
home. Besides all this, you gain weight and that's the moment
when you realize you have a problem.
In order to solve a problem, you should first find the reason
for it. In this case it's the lowered intake of fiber-rich foods
and respectively - the higher intake of foods containing no
fiber (like meat). The average amount of fiber intake is about
25-30 grams per day. Unfortunately most people regular diets
include less than 10-15 grams daily.
You should start consuming more fiber-rich
foods:
- all bran cereal - beans - peas - spinach - sweet corn -
wholemeal brown bread - red cabbage - carrots - baked potato
with skin - apples, bananas, oranges and all fruits
There are two types of fiber - soluble and insoluble. If you
start eating more food rich in fiber, you'll be amazed of its
beneficial effects over your body, health and way of life.
Soluble fiber forms glue like gel in the intestinal tract. The
gel softens stools (no more constipation) and improves your
digestion (no more indigestion).
Fiber slows down stomach emptying and you feel fuller longer.
This effect helps you eat less, your body burns additional
calories to digest fiber and you can lose weight.
Insoluble fiber is an excellent natural laxative, because of its
abilities to hold onto water and to push waste faster along the
intestines - this way fiber decreases the risk of colon cancer.
In conclusion I'd like to tell you that you won't be sorry if
you start eating more fiber-rich foods. Like many other people I
used to take not enough fiber, and I suffered stomach aches.
Then I started to eat more fruits and fiber-rich foods in my
daily menu. I must admit that it really worked for me, and now
fiber-rich food is the most important nutritious part of my
regular diet.
