Is it hard for you to lose 20 pounds? As we grow older, so does the rest of our body. It seems like our metabolism starts to be at the pace of a snail. How do we fight this?
Uncooked veggies and fruits give you the most fiber. Eating lots of fiber has a ton of benefits: gets your digestion flowing, boosts your immune system and helps you to lose weight fast.
Recommended intake of fiber is 25g per day, which should come from at least 5 different servings of fruits and vegetables as well as 6 servings of grain products – half of which should be whole grain.
There are two types of fiber found in raw foods: Soluble and Insoluble Fiber. It is important to understand the functions, benefits and sources of both types. Soluble and insoluble fiber work wonders because they can’t be digested. These are considered rapid weightloss foods and should be eaten daily. Here’s how:
Soluble Fiber
Soluble fiber binds with fatty acids and prolongs stomach emptying time so that sugar is released and absorbed more slowly. This helps regulate blood sugar, i.e. no immediate sugar highs and crashing lows.
People with diabetes should consider soluble fiber as an essential element of their diabetes management or regulation plan.
Soluble fiber is also known for it’s cholesterol lowering ability. Which in turn decreases your chances of cardiovascular disease.
Foods that have soluble fiber include: oats, dried beans, nuts, flax seed, apples, carrots and broccoli.
Insoluble Fiber
The best thing about insoluble fiber is that it pushes stuff through your digestive tract and cleans it. Insoluble fiber also is a great pH balancer.
Maintaining an optimal level of pH within the intestines helps prevent microbes from producing cancerous substances which in turn prevents colon cancer.
Include insoluble fiber in your diet by adding vegetables such as Green Beans, Spinach, Kale, Fruit and Root Vegetable Skins, and Whole Wheat products.
To burn fat fast, eat forty grams of soluble & insoluble fiber every day.
