Fiber! Fiber! Fiber! All doctors recommend that we include a certain amount of fiber in our diets.  Fiber in our diets is an important factor in preventing certain diseases such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and heart attacks.  Dietary fiber, also known as roughage, consists of any parts of plant foods that our body’s absorb or digest.  Our Premium Detox 7 Day Comprehensive Cleansing Program contains Fibersol-2 (Maltodextrin) which is a type of fiber and this helps the body remove build up in the intestines and colon.  There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble.  Insoluble fiber doesn’t dissolve in water and helps with the movement of material through the digestive system.  It also increases stool bulk so it is beneficial for people who suffer from constipation.  Vegetables, wheat bran nuts, and whole wheat flour are good sources of insoluble fiber.  Soluble fiber dissolves in water and forms a gel-like substance that helps maintain glucose levels and lowers blood cholesterol.  Good examples of soluble fiber include oats, apples, beans, carrots, citrus fruits and peas.  Maintaining a good fiber intense diet can help with weight loss and may help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.

Fibersol-2 has been shown to help maintain good blood glucose levels and insulin levels so that it is a wonderful additive for foods intended for diabetics.  It also is an effective tool for weight control.  Fibersol-2 also reduces the levels of blood triglycerides and serum cholesterol while helping maintain good (HDL) cholesterol levels.  This is beneficial in helping to prevent coronary heart disease.  Fibersol-2 helps maintain a healthy colon by increasing moisture, stool volume and expediting the waste through the intestines.
