REMEMBER YOUR FIBER. . .SOLUBLE &
INSOLUBLE
A high-fiber diet may
do more than help keep your colon healthy. It may help control your blood
pressure and lower cholesterol levels, as well.
High blood pressure affects
about 1 in 5 Americans and can lead to premature aging of the body's
major organs. Moreover, epidemiological studies show that keeping your
resting blood pressure near 115/76 mm Hg can reduce your biological
age by as much as 12 years! Research suggests that diets rich in fiber,
including fruits, vegetables, whole-grain cereals or breads, may help
reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings.
There are two types of fiber:
soluble and insoluble
- Insoluble fiber
adds bulk to your stool and helps prevent constipation. . and
makes you feel full, a great boone for weight loss or weight management.
- Soluble fiber
binds to fat in the intestines and keeps some fat from being absorbed.
This is the only food component we know that will lower blood cholesterol
when you add more to your diet.
Both kinds of fiber
are found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans. A healthy diet
should include at least 30 grams of fiber per day. The average North
American gets only 11 grams.
You can boost your fiber intake simply
Blend just two (2)
tablespoons of raw oats with water to produce a milk-like consistency.
Use this as a base for your daily Green
Magic Shake. Oats, a soluble fiber, thicken only slightly.
Take NutriCleanse
every day, capsules or powder. Just one serving can add as much as 9.5
grams of fiber to your diet.
