FIBER

Go Fiber! Go Fiber! I'm rooting for F-I-B-E-R!!!

I had read the local supermarket magazine and wanted to share with you' All.

Fiber is so important in our healthy daily that we really need in our body! Fiber bulks up your stomach contents and help keep blood sugar levels even by slowing glucose absorption. Is that great?! Oh yea, baby! It's a very delightful for anyone to eat even vegetarian too!

There's 5 high-fiber choices make it easy to eat enough.

1~ Almonds - Almonds are among the most fibrous nuts, totaling 3 grams per ounce (about 24 nuts). They also are an excellent source of vitamin E, magnesium, manganese, and calcium.

2~ Artichokes - One medium artichoke offers 7 grams of fiber, comparable to a can of baked beans. This low-cal-veggie (about 60 calories each) contain vitamin C, iron, calcium, and potassium.

3~ Barley - One cup of this cooked grain provides around 25 percent of the recommended daily intake (RDI) for fiber, plus selenium, tryptophan, copper, and manganese. Studies also indicated that barley's high soluble-fiber content may substantially lower cholesterol levels.

4~ Lentils - Red, yellow, and black lentils boast nearly 63 percent of the RDI for fiber per cup. That same cup also includes more than 17 grams of proteins, as well as iron, B vitamins, and folate.

5~ Pears - One medium pear packs 5 grams of fiber- the same as a bowl of bran flakes- and is a good source of vitamin C, copper, and vitamin k (all for just 120 calories).

Now you know those 5 high fiber foods that you may want to stock up in your kitchen to enjoy those delicious foods.
