Why Fiber?

Just like minerals and vitamins, fiber is an essential nutrient for the existence of life. It typically is not mentioned as often as minerals or vitamins. Without eating an adequate amount of fiber, expect to have some serious diseases as you age.

Fiber can provide you with a constipation cure, a heart cure, or a balance of your hormones. It provides you with food for you good bacteria and keeps your colon disease free.

All fruits, vegetables, natural grains have fiber. The best time to eat these fiber foods is during breakfast. This gives your whole body a boost in detoxifying itself. The other good time is with other food that does not have fiber like meat and process grains.

Using fiber in the morning gives you a health breakfast, and if it comes from fruits, you get a boost in your health program.
