Up to 80 percent of all Americans do not eat enough fiber on a daily basis. Health problems related to digestive complaints account for up to 40 percent of all doctor visits. Many alternative doctors today agree that good health begins in the colon but thanks to the SAD (Standard American Diet) that more and more Americans are eating on a daily basis, the amount of fiber that the average American consumes on has steadily declined in the last 50 to 60 years.

The amount of fiber that the American Diabetes Association recommends that Americans should consume daily to eliminate irregularity, help promote good digestion and relieve toxic bowel type syndrome that can spill undigested toxins and poisons back into the blood stream is between 25 and 30 grams of fiber daily. The average American today receives less than half of the optimal amount of dietary fiber (averaging only 10 to 12 grams of fiber daily). Today most nutritional scientists agree that the incidence of many diseases and major health concerns could either be eliminated or partially resolved by eating more fiber. Just a partial list includes:

• Lower incidence of heart disease

• Lower cholesterol

• Reduced rates of cancer

• Fewer cases of diabetes

• Less constipation

• Fewer varicose veins and hemorrhoids

• Less general illness

• Increased energy

• Fewer headaches and vision problems

• Better complexion and better appearance of health

• Less tendency to gain weight and a greater likelihood to lose weight

• and over 200 other illnesses and health concerns.

Health Tip: If you’re adding more fiber to your diet for the first time, please do so gradually or else your digestive system may not be used to it and may pass more gas. Try gradually adding a little more daily fiber to your digestive system, and over a two to four week period your body will get use to the extra fiber. Then the flatulence problem should become nonexistent. Note when eating beans that are being cooked at home, it is generally a good idea before cooking them to let them soak overnight in water so as to make them easier to digest and thus less gas producing. Lentils (a great fiber source) aren’t as ‘gassy’, taste good and are easy to prepare and mix in many different recipes.

Note: Many fruits like blackberries, raspberries, dried prunes, and apricots are very high in fiber. Almost all fruits and vegetables have meaningful amounts of fiber and are well worth adding to your diet, not only for the extra variety of taste but also for all the extra nutrients and fiber that they provide.

If more people ate the proper types of fiber, not only would constipation be eliminated but very few people would develop hemorrhoids, which are usually caused when people have to exert added pressure to the anal region in order to force a bowel movement.

The tissues in the anal area are very sensitive, and increased pressure upon them during evacuation often will resort in torn and bloody tissues in that area (hemorrhoids). In addition, by not eating enough fiber daily and drinking enough water, the excess pressure caused by straining to pass a dry hard stool can also result in piles, a condition in which the insides of the lower colon are actually forced outside of the anus. Both hemorrhoids and piles can usually be completely averted by eating a healthy diet, eating more fiber, and drinking enough water daily.

Health Tip: Be sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Not only is it important that you keep your cells properly hydrated for optimal functioning, but drinking enough water a day, along with eating enough fiber, will also help to eliminate constipation. When you eat food containing fiber but do not drink enough water, then the fiber will not be able to absorb enough water to make stools soft and yet firm enough for easy passage.

For Weight Loss Health: One benefit of taking a fiber supplement and drinking a large glass of water 30 to 60 minutes prior to eating is that fiber generally does not have many if any calories. The good news is that by taking your fiber with water before lunch or dinner you will not feel nearly as hungry. Many studies have been done showing that weight loss can often be dramatic (four to eight pounds weight loss a month or more), even with no other change in your eating habits, just by taking a good fiber product before you feel hungry. When you take fiber prior to feeling hungry, your body’s eating senses are turned off because your stomach is at least partially full from the water and fiber. When you do eat you will not feel like eating as much. This means that you will consume less food calories, which makes weight loss goals easier. If you are overweight, combine this fiber weight loss tip with eating healthy and with moderate daily exercise and within a short time you could make significant weight loss progress.

I have found a great Fiber Supplement that adds up to 15 grams of daily Fiber per serving but that also helps cleanse, detoxify and supports good colon and digestive immune health. This product is Doctor Greens Cleansing Fiber Plus and their excellent Fiber Cleanse and a Detox/Cleanse 4-product package available on their website.

This beneficial Cleanse and Detox package contains a very helpful pamphlet and easy to follow instructions to help you get more daily fiber along with supporting a thorough cleanse, detox and importantly aids Re-Energizing your body for better health. To Your Better Health, Hal Decker

Have you heard of the Master Cleanse? That it is an excellent body detox approach to cleanse your body and to lose weight? If so, you may want to give this detox approach a try. Before doing so, you are advised to read more about the Master Cleanse especially its pros and cons. This will enable you to determine if this body cleansing method is right for you.

The duration of the Master Cleanse can vary. From online searches, you will find that people have done the Master Cleanse for as little as three days, to as long as a month or more. This variance can work to your advantage. It is recommended that you at least undergo a 10-day detox before ending your cleanse. This should give you the best results and sufficient time for your body to fully eliminate all harmful toxins buildup over the years.

You will be pleased to several Master Cleanse support groups online. The Master Cleanse is a wonderful way to cleanse and detox your body, but it will be a struggle. 10 days without solid foods can hard and cause big reactions from your body. Along the way, you will have questions and concerns and you will need peer support to see you through the process. When you do, you can turn to the ever helpful internet. There are many message boards and forums devoted to Master Cleanse practitioners and many act as support groups.

To get started with the Master Cleanse, it cost you money. In terms of the cheapest means of cleansing and detoxing your bodies, many prefer the water fast. On the other hand, you will need to pay to embark on a Master Cleanse. What you pay for is your supplies. These supplies will include genuine grade b maple syrup, senna tea, fresh lemons, sea salt and cayenne pepper. But when this is compared with the many over-the-counter detox products, such as foot pouches or detox pills, Master Cleanse is still a cheaper option.

The Master Cleanse produces a few side effects. As previously mentioned, the Master Cleanse yields positive results, but those results come with a cost. You may experience moderate to severe abdominal pain and cramping, although this should quickly pass. If you are a smoker or caffeine dependent, you may start to experience some withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, nausea and dizziness. There will also be more trips to the toilet. Racing to the toilet in inappropriate times can cause much inconvenience and embarrassment, but it is good to know that the Master Cleanse is working and your body is in a aggressive detox mode.

It may be hard for you to stay on track while on a Master cleanse and you may think of giving up at times. As stated earlier, the Master Cleanse causes a number of side effects. These side effects can be more severe and harder to bear for some. It often depends on your daily habits and dependent on caffeine, nicotine, junk food and such. If you find it too emotionally or physically painful to carry on with this body detox program, stop. You can try it again at later time when you are more ready and determined. It is consoling to know that many a time, it takes first-time cleansers one or two attempts before they are finally able to complete a 10-day cleanse.

At the conclusion of your detox, you must carefully and slowly reintroduce solid foods into your diet. Whether you cleanse for five days, ten days, or more, it is imperative to slowly but steadily return to your normal eating habits. Many find this difficult as most want to satisfy their cravings by eating but you need to be discipline or you’ll regret the consequences. You should start out small with fruit or vegetable juice and soup and then move on to semi solid foods like porridge or broth before resuming normal diet. This gives your body time to readjust. If you do not make the transition slowly and impatient, you may experience nausea and abdominal pains.
