Fiber in your diet

Indigestible carbohydrates are normally referred to as fiber, which is an important part of our diet in order to achieve optimum health and is found in nuts, fruits, vegetables, beans, lentils, whole grains.

An adequate intake of dietary fiber will help prevent a high risk for bowel cancer, diabetes, diverticula disease or constipation.

When you have enough fiber in your diet, the fecal matter is less dense, bulkier and passes along the digestive far better and faster - which helps prevent putrefaction of food in the colon, carcinogens forming in the body and running less risk of infection.

An ideal amount of fiber per day is around 35 grams, and this level is easily maintained if the diet is balanced and healthy, or can be easily corrected by simply adding dietary fiber.
