DAY 59 OF THE 100 DAY CHALLENGE!
Fiber - What’s the Big Deal? Part 2
Getting enough fiber in the diet can lower the risk of developing certain conditions such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, diverticular disease, gall stones and kidney stones. Evidence is now growing to support the notion that foods containing soluble fiber (such as oats, rye, barley, and beans) can have a positive influence on cholesterol, triglycerides, and other particles in the blood that affect the development of heart disease. The passage of food through the body is sped up when fiber is eaten. Some experts believe this may prevent harmful substances found in some foods from affecting the colon and may protect against colon cancer. Adding fiber to the diet helps regulate blood sugar levels, which is important in avoiding diabetes.
