Easy and Healthy High-Fiber Cookbook: Delicious Recipes for Your Overall Gut Health - Paperback

by Stephanie Sharp (Author)

Fiber is an indigestible substance found in foods. Per U.S. Dietary Guidelines, for every 1000 calories that we consume, our body needs approximately 14 grams of fiber.

For people over age 50, men must include a minimum of 30 grams of fiber, and women should include a minimum of 21 grams of fiber per day in their diet.

There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fibers get dissolved in water, while on the other hand, insoluble fiber absorbs the water and makes a bulkier stool.

Fiber plays an important role in maintaining bowel health and decreasing the chance of constipation.

Thus, a diet high in fiber can easily eliminate the toxins & wastes from your body.

Fiber also helps in achieving the optimum weight, lowering the cholesterol level, controlling the blood sugar levels in the body, and helping you get a longer lifespan.

Beans, whole grains, brown rice, nuts, bran cereal, berries, and baked potatoes are all good sources of fiber.

This book has 40 delicious high-fiber recipes that you can explore & prepare for yourself or even guests anytime you want.
