For more than a hundred years we've known that fiber helps fight the effects of aging. It prevents constipation, lowers blood cholesterol levels, stabilizes blood sugar levels, plays a role in the prevention and treatment of diverticular disease (colon), and protects against large bowel cancer. But now, studies show that fiber also plays a role in weight loss and cardiovascular health. The right kinds of fiber can be particularly helpful for insulin metabolism, especially in people who have even a few extra pounds around the middle. That abdominal weight gain drives increasing insulin levels, which can result in fat deposits if not completely metabolized. In addition, taking a fiber supplement, like Waiora's Superior Fiber Blend, 30 minutes before a meal will give you a feeling of satiety, enabling you to eat smaller portions.
Scientists recommend up to 35 grams per day to achieve the positive effects of fiber, and unfortunately most people are only averaging about 12. Naturally, fiber-rich foods are the best source of fiber, but you have to eat so much of it, and sometimes our busy schedules dictate our diets. That's why taking Superior Fiber Blend in addition to eating fiber-rich foods is your best bet for getting enough fiber.
Waiora's Superior Fiber Blend is a natural, whole-food fiber drink mix, scientifically formulated to help maintain healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels, and support digestive health.* It delivers a superior matrix of ingredients and fibers -- including guar gum, oat fiber, carrot fiber, fibersol, inulin, sugar cane fiber, citrus pectin and plant sterols -- and a mix of antioxidant vitamins C and E. The result is a delicious, easy-to-use drink mix that delivers five grams of dietary fiber (three grams soluble, two grams insoluble) per dose. That's more than any other fiber supplement on the market.
Ok, so maybe you didn't exactly resolve to eat more fiber, but if weight loss is on this year's agenda, fiber is just one more way to help you stick to your 2008 resolution.
