Numerous studies show that diets of fiber rich foods result in a significantly reduced risk of cancers, diabetes, digestive system problems, and heart disease. Many high fiber foods are also high in antioxidants which also has a positive effect on our holistic health.
Fiber adds bulk to the stool which allows bodily waste and toxins to move more quickly through the digestive tract to speed their transit through the lower intestine, out of the body, and improves the holistic health of the body.
A diet of high fiber foods may reduce the risk of breast cancer. High levels of estrogen encourage the formation of breast tumors. Foods high in fiber reduce the risk of breast tumors. The fiber binds with estrogen and prevents it from being absorbed into the bloodstream.
Colon health is improved because fiber adds bulk to the stool and lessens the time that the waste material is in the body. Fast passage through the digestive system relieves constipation, reduces increased pressure build up in the colon from straining, and reduces the incidence of acute attacks of diverticulitis and improves holistic health.
Fiber absorbs carbohydrates and cholesterol, slows their digestion and absorption into the bloodstream, and helps the body eliminate those carbohydrates and lower cholesterol.
Fiber supplements can help but supplements tend to only contain one type of fiber. Fiber supplements should not be a substitute for eating a varied diet of foods high in fiber.
Fiber is indigestible and passes quickly through the digestive system. Fiber rich foods absorb up to ten times their volume in water which makes them more filling so people tend to eat less than other foods. The less time that waste and toxins are in the body the greater the improvement in our holistic health.
