A Natural Way To Stay Healthy And Lose Weight

By Alex Ariel Sanders

Any bodybuilder would know the connection between fiber and fat loss. However, this has not been known until only recently; in fact, the connection is considered to be one of the best secrets to trimming the body and building up muscles. Moreover, today you would find studies that don't only support the connection but also correlate sufficient fiber intake to the decrease of disease development.

Fiber is literally the indigestible cell walls of the fruits and vegetables we eat. Cell walls are structures unique to plants, meaning you cannot get fiber from meat. There are two forms of fiber; a) soluble, meaning it will dissolve in water and b) insoluble, meaning it will not dissolve in water. Both forms of fiber are necessary to a healthy diet. Increasing the amount of fiber taken leads to a natural reduction in caloric intake as all fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories.

These fibers function in totally different methods to make sure that you can definitely take care of your health properly. The soluble fiber works well with the bile, which is produced in your liver, and goes together with the cholesterol in the blood, getting rid of triglycerides; you get rid of soluble fibers and thus triglycerides through the process called elimination. Thus, you are able to prevent triglyceride build-up.

Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, gives you the bulk. It is the reason why you don't feel hunger pangs whenever you consume it. Moreover, since this one is not digested entirely, you get rid of it through regular bowel movement. Nevertheless, even if it cannot be dissolved by water, it retains it, so you won't suffer from constipation or diarrhea. You can just imagine how fibers can help get rid of your bowel issues.

The insoluble fiber is also the one that forces that fats that have already bonded into the soluble fiber out from your body.

The fibers are also the ones responsible for the removal of excess fat. They can also help increase your metabolism, which also help in getting rid of your excess pounds as well as toxins that are often the causes of the different degenerative diseases and fast aging process.

If you can just replace your sugar-rich foods and some of your red meat by more fruits and vegetables that have low calories and more fiber, you would be able to really enjoy the benefits of fiber and lose weight. You can further improve their effectiveness if you can also exercise, since exercises increases the amount of calories burned and speeds up your metabolism.

Surely, you can no longer hide the fact that fat loss and fiber are correlated. What's more, you can slow down the process of aging and get rid of degenerative diseases; foods that are high in fiber also have a lot of nutrients that can prevent illnesses. - 30414
