The fiber word has been ignored for so many years in the past,
but today, it's on every package in every supermarket that so studies after
study shows that fiber decreases heart disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune
conditions as well as gastrointestinal problems, so you're probably asking how
does this fiber work when it comes to losing weight, and burning lories fiber
primarily comes from our plant foods our vegetable fruits beans nuts legumes
and seeds,
So there are
two types of fiber insoluble fiber and soluble fiber; insoluble fiber is not
digested that helps the transit time get through the gastrointestinal tract
preventing constipation and making you more regular soluble fiber helps bind to
these foods, particularly fats and cholesterol-lowering our cholesterol and
lipid levels, we must be grateful for soluble fiber because that's what slows
the absorption of the sugars and fats that we eat, giving us that steady supply
of energy,
So even if your sugar level is average or you're pre-diabetic or even diabetic without fiber, your sugar levels are going to spike. It's going to crash, and it's going to give you that hunger where you're just thriving for food. Still, the big problem is our processed and refined foods that are sitting on the shelves all on the inside aisles of the supermarket all around the outside aisles; those are the healthy foods, our whole grains, our fruits, and vegetables that are filled with fiber, but the bottom line is that fiber slows digestion down, allowing your food to stay in your stomach much longer, helping you to feel full faster and longer as well. You also must be aware of too much sugar excessive sugars will get converted to fat even if you're juicing fruits, no fiber, faster digestion, quicker spiking, increased insulin, and more stress on the liver, which can lead to a fatty liver as well, so for example, take an apple. It's more filling than apple juice because of the fiber it contains. Remember that foods that contain thread take longer to chew, giving you time to realize that you are satisfied on a smaller portion. Also, those foods that are rich in fiber stay in the stomach longer because it's absorbing more water, allowing you to feel fuller.

Suppose
you're constantly feeling bloated and distended. In that case, lack of fiber
can be the problem that will allow your body to retain lots of fluid. The lack
of mobility, the lack of peristalsis that stagnation is causing your belly to
bloat. Your dietary fiber intake should be anywhere from 25 to 30 grams a day.
The majority of us are not even getting half of it,
so when you
eat your fiber, it slows the transit time of food that crosses the ileocecal, a a valve that's what sends the signals from the small intestine to the large
intestine keeping your stomach fuller for longer will give you a more incredible feeling of satiety by increasing your appetite-suppressing hormones
in the gastrointestinal tract that signals fullness,
so here is
the bottom line not only will fiber keep you full and satisfied it will keep
your insulin levels lower,
not allowing
your body to store fat and allowing your body to utilize fat to lose weight
start eating healthy foods in the whole state, and I promise you you're going
to get your fiber. You're going to see significant changes.
