Your days dealing with indigestion, stomach cramping and bloating are hopefully numbered. With a proper nutrition plan and selection of foods, you can be on your way to a more comfortable lifestyle.
Fiber has always been recommended by health professionals and nutritionists for smoother digestion. We're going to explain why.
Fiber has many benefits and is an important catalyst for balance and regularity of your body's major functions. Getting an adequate amount of dietary fiber can help to:
1. Promote Digestive Regularity
2. Maintain a Healthy Weight
3. Promote Cardiovascular Health
4. Regulate your Blood Sugar Levels
5. Support a Strong Immune System
A more gradual absorption process into the bloodstream allows for more regular bowel movements and prevents dangerous glucose and insulin spikes.
Insoluble Fiber is important as well. It does not slow down your digestive process and passes through your digestive track in its original form. Insoluble Fiber creates bulk to help you properly digest and pass food.
