Eating fiber is like house cleaning. If you don't clean your house, it becomes messy and dirty. It becomes smelly; things are hard to find, and you feel uncomfortable in it. Germs start festering and you may contract respiratory or skin infections. You may develop asthma due to the dust.
House cleaning is a routine that most people don't question because it makes sense to them. You feel more contented and relaxed when your house is tidy and hygienic. You also understand why it's necessary to clean your body from the outside and have regular showers or baths. Just like it is essential to clean your house and take showers, it is vitally important to clean your body from the inside.
Fiber scrapes your intestines, like a brush removing dirt and grime from a surface, and in the process your whole body is cleansed. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and turns into a gel-like substance that soaks up impurities, excess bile and cholesterol. It makes you feel full, so you tend to eat less. It also delays the absorption of carbohydrates, thus stabilizing blood sugar levels and preventing hunger pangs. You can find soluble fiber in oats, fruit, vegetables, peas and beans.
With the help of insoluble fiber, waste matter is rapidly transported out of your body. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to your food, and prevents constipation, by accelerating your intestinal transit. Toxic substances don't linger in your body, and are less likely to be absorbed into your bloodstream. With insoluble fiber, a high percentage of calories is carried away and wasted before it can be utilized: great news for people intending to lose weight or maintain their current weight. You can find insoluble fiber in whole grain foods, nuts, seeds, lentils and the skins of fruits and vegetables
Soluble fiber is the brush, broom, mop, cleaning cloth, sponge, or vacuum cleaner that gathers all the dirt, sucks it up, leaving surfaces clean and sparkling. Insoluble fibre carries the result, whatever is in the dustpan, bucket, cloth, sponge or vacuum cleaner bag, out into the garbage can.
When your daily food intake is high in fiber, your feel better. Your health automatically begins to improve. You lose any excess weight and maintain your ideal body shape. You feel energetic and rejuvenated. You sleep better and think more clearly. You're in a cheerful mood and have more enthusiasm. You feel lighter and more optimistic.
Your immune system works better. Fiber reduces inflammation in your body, and lowers your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Another bonus: you look fresher, as your skin becomes smooth with a healthy glow. If you suffer from acne or fungal infections, a diet high in fiber may be the solution. After just a few weeks, you will notice great improvements.
Enjoy a healthy day today,
Bella
