THE VALUE OF FIBER

All eating programs tell you that you shoul eat more fiber. Does anyone know the reason for this?
It seems that when you injest insoluable fiber it acts like a raging river and washes away cholestoral from your body. How much is enough? Most studies show that the body needs around 25 grams of fiber a day. Eating this amount of fiber has major health benefits. The more fiber you injest the longer you stay full and satisfied. Fruits and vegetables are a great source of fiber. They should take up 2/3 of your plate at most meals. Eating the correct amount of fiber will cleanse you and help the toxins flow from your body. Fiberous foods also can give you lots of energy and contibute to your overall well being.
There are plenty of high fiber cereals on the market today that will give you a jumpstart in the morning> Give them a try
