Most of the nutritionists blame the lack of fiber in our diets for the increasing amount of heart patients and growing numbers of people who suffer from bowel disorders. This may be true because white bread, cake, sugar, salt and processed foods have become predominant in our diets. We also eat more meat nowadays and all of these foods lack the necessary fiber to move the food through our digestive tracts and through our stomach quickly.
his means that food is sitting in the stomach and bowels for a longer period, which could be why there has been an increase in cancers to these parts of the body. People who eat too much processed foods instead of wholegrain, fruits and vegetables may be at risk of suffering from obesity and other disorders too.
Fiber is essential in our diets and to the well being of our health. Fiber rich food items basically include all bran cereals, beans, peas and cabbage. There are also some high fiber fruits which intake can lead to an overall enhancement of one's health.
As you increase the intake of fiber in your diet, you should also accompany this with a good consumption of water. Also, increasing the intake of foods high in fiber is better than using fiber supplements. However, eating wisely and healthily can make you feel better without the threat of any illness.
