Trying to lose weight? Add more fiber to your diet to keep you feeling fuller and to help prevent cravings. Chewy, fibrous foods keep your mouth busy longer and are more satisfying than soft, overly processed foods. And that's not all. Fiber fillers may also help protect you from heart disease, diabetes (by slowing the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream), and some cancers (by binding to troublemakers and increasing the chance they'll be excreted). And last but not least, is constipation a problem? Not anymore!
Fill up on these winners:
1.) Carrots, lettuce, broccoli, celery, sweet potatoes, and asparagus.
2.) Bananas, apples, pears, and berries.
3.) Nuts, seeds, beans, and lentils.
4.) Whole-grain cereal, bread, and pasta.
Experts recommend a minimum of 25 grams of fiber a day, which really isn't hard to achieve if you include a little at every meal. So eat up and fill up!

Sometimes it is kinda' fun to see how much fiber one can get in to a meal. Yes, it is definitely a help to keep all systems working and so much more enjoyable than OTC drug solutions.
Many thanks.
