(18-05-11) High Fiber Diet Reduces the Risk of Death

Researchers investigating fiber intake and the risk of death found that men
and women consuming the most fiber in their diet (between 25-30 grams per day)
were significantly less likely to die from cardiovascular, infectious or
respiratory disease.

They were also 22% less likely to die of any cause whatsoever than those
consuming the least amount of fiber (between 10-13 grams per day).

The study followed the diet records of over 388,000 healthy American women and
men for nine years.

?Making fiber-rich food choices more often may provide significant health
benefits?, the researchers concluded.

High fiber foods include beans (11-17 grams per cup), nuts, seeds, vegetables
and whole grain cereals.

The National Institute of Medicine recommends between 25-38 grams of fiber
daily. Most Americans get a paltry 4-11 grams.

I frequently recommend fiber supplements. PaleoFiber, for example, can be
added to shakes, and FortiFlax provides extra fiber as well as cancer-fighting
lignans and can be sprinkled over salads, vegetables and added to smoothies.

Choose high-fiber foods whenever possible- they?re good for your heart, good
for your blood sugar, they help with weight control?and they may even protect
you from a premature death!
