What is the Reason Behind Fiber Consumption?


 The importance of fibre in our diets is as important as the diet itself.

Are you aspiring for a healthy growth? Listen to what the experts say, “… a dietary intake of 20-35 grams of fiber per day is highly recommended.

A diet rich in fiber and low in fat is a key factor in promoting good health.

For years fiber has been associated with proper elimination and regularity of the bowel. High fiber diets have also been linked to reduced risk of heart disease, it impairs certain forms of cancer, diabetes, diverticulosis, and obesity.


Both of these products can be mixed with your favorite drink or combined in foods to offer a simple, natural way to increase your fiber intake.

The Relevance of Vitamins to the Body's Health (Part II)


In a follow-up study, Dr. Zemel used obese subjects whose caloric intake was restricted equally—but this time half of the group added 1200 milligrams of calcium to their daily diet.

 The group with the calcium-enriched diet lost twice as much—10.9% of body fats versus 5.4%—as the group without the additional calcium intake.

 Dr. Zemel also found that calcium actually helps the body rid itself of fat cells through a process called apoptosis.

This can greatly impact one’s ability to keep weight off, says Dr. Zemel. “If those fat cells are still there waiting to store excess energy, it’s easy to gain the weight back again. If you get rid of the fat cells themselves, it’s much easier to keep the weight off.”

While nutrient-rich foods may be the best source for critical vitamins and minerals, most diets fall significantly short of the
recommended daily allowances.

Supplements help to fill in the holes. As Dr. Ames says, “Take a supplement … There is plenty of evidence that it’s good insurance.”
