FIBER<\/h1>\n

It seems like, lately, fiber is showing up in almost everything we eat. \u00a0We see and hear a lot about the importance of fiber, but do you really know why you need adequate amounts of it? \u00a0\u00a0First and foremost, fiber is important to the digestive system. <\/span><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>When eating foods that are high in fiber, you should notice that you feel full faster and longer. \u00a0This is because of the makeup of fiber, which causes it to expand and stay in your stomach for more time than other foods. \u00a0As an added bonus, by staying in your stomach longer, fiber can also help to regulate blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n

Fiber is also useful in lowering cholesterol, preventing certain cancers, and lessening some colon and intestinal problems. \u00a0Fiber may also contribute to weight loss and maintenance. \u00a0So, be sure that you\u2019re getting enough fiber in your diet.<\/p>\n

Sources of fiber include vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grain foods and beans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
