Why
You Need Fiber In Your Diet
If there was one
element of our diets that we would ‘wish away’ it might be
fiber. Fiber is what is left over after
our bodies have squeezed every bit of nutritive value from
the foods we eat. Don’t discount fiber, however. It is a
very important part of a healthy diet.
Sadly, most older
Americans get no more than 14.8 grams of fiber a day when
you actually need 25 to 35 grams to protect against disease.
You can make up
the difference by changing dietary habits and do it easily.
Researchers have found an astounding 33% drop in cholesterol
in some patients who did nothing more than increase fiber
and reduce fat. And, there is research being conducted that
indicates the perillyl alcohol contained in fiber shows promise
of actually slowing down the growth of certain cancer tumors.
Before we take
a look at how fiber can combat cancer, we need to explore
the two different types of fiber – insoluble and soluble.
Each type works differently to fight disease.
Insoluble fiber
comes from a substance that forms in the cell walls of plants.
The reason it is called insoluble is because your body does
not break it down as it passes through the digestive system.
It is what gives your stool its bulk helping it to move faster
through your system. This is why certain foods that are high
in soluble fiber like bran are said to be natures laxatives.
Grain
products and vegetables have loads of fiber. While
at first look it appears more as rabbit food than cancer
fighting, studies show that insoluble fiber helps to fight
colon cancer and researchers believe it also helps to fight
breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers as well.
In Finland, low
rates of breast and colon cancer are linked directly to diets
rich in cereals.
Certain parts
of Africa where people consume lots of high fiber foods the
incidence of intestinal disease is practically nil.
