Did you know that increasing your fiber intake can help you lose
weight and it can also benefit your overall health. Did you also know
that the average American diet consist of about 15 grams of fiber,
when the recommended is about 30 grams.
Here's how fiber works...When fiber enters your digestive system it
absorbs the available liquids, then as it goes through the body it
almost has a sweeping or cleaning effect on the cells. When enough
fiber is consumed the stool is large and soft because plant fiber
attracts water. When too little fiber is consumed, the opposite
occurs, the stool may be small and hard. The deficiency of fiber may
lead to constipation which can cause health problems such as
Diverticula and Hemorrhoids.
Fiber helps stabilize sugar levels, helps you feel fuller (avoid
cravings) and helps to be regular in the bathroom. In order to better
achieve your weight loss goals you want to keep your sugar levels
balance throughout the day, this way you body is better able to
utilize the calories that it is taking in.
