High Fiber Diet-Why should you

Think about adding more fiber to your diet? Fiber along with adequate fluid intake,moves quickly and relatively easily through your digestive tract and helps it function properly.

How much? Women try to eat at least 21 to 25 grams of fiber a day,Men should 30 to 38 grams a day.

WHICH TYPE

Insoluble fiber is the type of dietary fiber found in high-fiber foods like whole grains, nuts, wheat bran and vegetables. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water so it helps to move material through the colon faster by increasing the bulk of the stool. This can be very helpful to people who suffer from constipation

Soluble fiber is also found in many high-fiber foods like oats, citrus fruits, apples, barley, psyllium, flax seeds and beans. Soluble fiber absorbs water, which helps to soften stools making them easier to eliminate from the body.

Constipation

Constipation is one of the problems associated with hemorrhoids,due to the unusual amount of straining this is a contributing factor to hemorrhoids.so I thought I would cover the common causes of constipation and 3 different natural product that will rid you of it without costing you, an arm and a leg.

First of all, Constipation is defined as having a bowel movement fewer than three times per week. Your stools are usually hard, dry small in size.You are also likely to find it painful to have a bowel movement and often experience straining, bloating, and the sensation of a full bowel.

The main cause of constipation can be found in a person’s diet. Fiber is essential to digestive health as well as drinking enough water or fluids and by that I mean between 2.6-3.7 pints per day and in warmer climes a little more.

We don’t often think that constipation is a common side effect of many medications. Diuretics and anti-depressants often cause constipation in patients.So if you are on medication and get constipated to ask your doctor to prescribe something else.

The first natural product I would like to cover is RAMSONS latin name Allium ursinum its common name is Wild Garlic, Broad leaved Garlic or Wood Garlic.It is out of the scope of this article to describe the plant itself.

The leaves when dry loose their medicinal properties,they are used fresh.You can chop the leaves up fine and put them on buttered bread,or put the uncooked leaves in your soup as seasoning.Young leaves are best gathered before the time of flowering.If you have a sensitive stomach pour warm milk over the finely chopped leaves let it soak for 2 to 3 hours and then sip this liquid.

The Second one is the WALNUT latin name Juglans regia common names are Jupiters nut and common Walnut.The leaves are gathered in June and a tea is made with them like this.Pour half a pint of boiling water over a heaped teaspoon of finely cut leaves let it infuse for 5-minute filters the leaves out and drinks your tea.

Third natural product is Figs and Prunes to soak them overnight in cold water,warm them up before eating them for breakfast,in addition to these method take 3 tablespoons of Linseed with a little water during every single meal and your digestion will return to normal.
