FIBER

Eating fiber may be one of the easiest and least expensive ways to practice preventive health care. These days, people seem to be concerned with what kind of and how many carbohydrates, proteins, and fats they ingest.

The reason is simple—carbohydrates, proteins, and fats attribute to how we look on the outside. But as most health-conscious people know, what’s going on in the inside matters more. And what’s going on in the inside—from our digestive health to measures of whole body health—can often be equated to the amount of fiber in our diets.

Fiber is the elongated, threadlike structures in fruits, vegetables, and grains that cannot be digested.

It has long been recognized as one of the best food ingredients for maintaining bowel regularity and preventing constipation. And because it acts to normalize bowel movements, it can also be used to treat and manage chronic diarrhea (Murray 1996).

Consuming fiber reduces transit time and results in a more thorough evacuation of waste materials. It is thought to improve all aspects of colon function.

Fiber in the diet Most nutritionists recommend consuming 25 to 40 grams of fiber per day. The average American consumes 10 to 15 grams. The average Canadian consumes 4.5 to 11 grams.

A variety of epidemiological (disease and population) studies have found that in populations with high-fiber diets, the incidences of colon cancer, appendicitis, and diverticulosis are very low. Industrialized countries, which largely have diets high in fat and low in fiber, have high incidences of these diseases.

Because fiber is low in calories, it can be added to your diet, providing a greater feeling of satiety without significantly increasing your caloric intake. In addition, fiber’s ability to stabilize blood sugar may also curb the desire to snack. In other words, you may find yourself eating less. This is beneficial in weight-loss programs.

Adding fiber to your diet Once you understand what fiber is and what it does, the next step is changing your diet to make sure you increase your fiber intake.

Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber include apples, oranges, broccoli, cauliflower, berries, pears, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, figs, prunes, carrots, and potatoes.

Switch from white bread to whole-grain breads and cereals. Switch from white rice to brown rice.

Eat dry bran cereals for breakfast. Be sure to check the label to see how much fiber the cereals contain. Some have less fiber than you would think.

Add one-fourth cup of wheat bran to foods, such as cooked cereals, applesauce, and meat loaf.

Eat beans each week.

Add a fiber supplement to your diet.

Remember, as you increase your fiber intake, increase the amount of water you drink. To experience the benefits of fiber, adequate water is necessary.

Experience and research indicate that fiber is an indispensable part of your diet. Including adequate fiber in your diet can help prevent many of today’s prevalent health care concerns.
