In this article I will reveal several tiny known facts about the fibers and the beneficial effect they have higher than your body.

First of each let me explain what fiber is…                          

Fiber is an indigestible part of every plant foods. It is found in fruits, vegetables, grains and beans. Your digestive system cannot stomach fiber, so it is excreted undigested. Well, you could think you don’t require fiber, as it’s excreted undigested, but that’s not right.

Let’s imagine the after picture:

You overeat at least amount once or twice a week, extra often at weekends, and your general menu doesn’t include much fiber. Well, this possibly will be your life style; however you must believe that it could cause you several health problems like:

- indigestion
- discomfort stomach aches
- gases inside the digestive tract
- constipation
- hemorrhoids
- you got tired more rapidly
- can’t concentrate on what you’re doing

I mean you become less productive at work and extra irritable at home. Besides every this, you benefit weight and that’s the moment when you realize you have a problem.

In order to solve a problem, you must first find the reason for it. Inside 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 quantity of fiber intake is about 25-30 grams per day. Unfortunately most public frequent diets include less than 10-15 grams daily.

You should begin consuming extra fiber-rich foods:

- every 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 unsolvable. If you begin eating more food rich inside fiber, you’ll be amazed of its beneficial effects over your body, health and way of life.

Soluble fiber forms glue like gel inside the intestinal tract. The gel softens stools (no more constipation) and improves your digestion (no extra 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 be able to lose weight.

Insoluble fiber is an magnificent normal laxative, because of its abilities to hold onto water and to push waste quicker 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 begin eating more fiber-rich foods. Like many other people I used to take not adequate fiber, and I suffered stomach aches. Then I started to eat more fruits and fiber-rich foods inside my daily menu. I be supposed to admit that it actually worked for me, and at present fiber-rich food is the most important nutritious part of my ordinary diet.
