Fiber is the part of plant-based foods that our bodies can't digest. It
passes through our digestive tract without providing nutrition or
calories, and yet it is very healthy for us.
Fiber helps to keep our bowel movements regular and ward off
certain diseases. Carcinogens in our intestines bind to it and move
through our colon more quickly than they otherwise would, reducing
our risk for colon cancer. Fiber also helps transport cholesterol out of
our body, reducing our risk for heart disease.
Populations that eat greater amounts of fiber-rich foods are generally
healthier. While all of the reasons for this are not known, it may be
because the fiber-rich foods themselves are healthier. Perhaps fiber's
greatest value, however, is in helping to keep us slim.
Fiber makes us feel full sooner and stays in our stomach longer than
other substances we eat, slowing down our rate of digestion and
keeping us feeling full longer. Due to its greater fiber content, a
single serving of whole grain bread can be more filling than two
servings of white bread. Fiber also moves fat through our digestive
system faster so that less of it is absorbed.
Meat and dairy products contain no fiber, and refined grains have had
most of their fiber removed. To increase your intake of fiber, eat more
whole and natural foods, and fewer processed foods. Some good
examples of fiber-rich foods include:
•        Legumes (lentils, dry beans and peas)
•        Other vegetables
•        Fruits
•        Brown rice
•        Whole grains (wheat, oats, barley)
Products labeled "whole grain" is made with the complete grain
kernels; whether the grain remains intact as in oatmeal or it is ground
to make bread, pasta or cereal. Cracked wheat is also made from the
complete kernel, but don't be mislead by wording like "100% wheat" or
"multi-grain." Don't be misled by color, either. Most wheat bread is
almost identical to white bread except that caramel coloring has been
added to make it look more natural.
Refined grains like white rice and those used to make white bread and
sugary breakfast cereals have had most of their fiber and nutrients
stripped away. They turn into blood sugar (glucose) so fast that, like
sugar it self, they can cause a spike in our insulin level. This tells our
body that plenty of energy is readily available and that it should stop
burning fat and start storing it.
However, the greater concern with the insulin spike is not that it tells
our body to start storing fat. Whatever we eat and don't burn up
eventually gets turned into fat anyway.
The greater concern is that the insulin spike is followed by a drop in
insulin level that leaves us feeling tired and hungry and wanting to
eat more. The unfortunate result of this scenario is that it makes us
want to eat something else with high sugar content. When we do, we
start the cycle all over again. Eating foods with plenty of fiber will help
keep our blood sugar at a more consistent level.
Adding more fiber to your diet will likely help you lose weight and
improve your health, but do it gradually. Rapid increases in
consumption of fiber may result in gas or diarrhea.
And be sure to drink plenty of fluids when adding fiber to your diet.
While fiber is normally helpful to your digestive system, without
adequate fluids it can cause constipation instead of helping to
eliminate it.
Soluble fiber has been credited with lowering blood cholesterol. It
may also help people with diabetes by lowering the amount of insulin
necessary to process blood sugar after a meal. When taken with
plenty of water before meals, a soluble fiber supplement binds with
water in the stomach and forms a gummy mass—and that’s what makes
us feel full.
Insoluble fiber is the champion of the gastrointestinal tract. It’s a good
natural laxative because it holds onto water and moves waste quickly
through the intestines, says David Beck, M.D., chairman of colon and
rectal surgery at the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans. It also adds bulk
and softens stools.
In general, soluble fibers are found in higher concentrations in fruits,
oats, barley, and beans. When shopping for soluble fiber
supplements, you can choose from many says Dr. Beck. Insoluble
fibers are more abundant in vegetables, wheat, and cereals;
supplements include wheat bran and And rice bran, an insoluble fiber,
lowers blood cholesterol, which is a trait of some soluble fibers.
Some studies have shown a link between high-fiber diets and a
decreased risk of colon cancer, says Dr. Beck. Since fiber increases
the bulk of the stool, it may dilute cancer-causing substances there. It
also moves waste faster through the digestive tract, leaving less time
for potentially harmful or even cancerous substances in your stool to
have contact with the lining of the bowel, he says.
Fiber, particularly insoluble fiber, is also thought to help prevent
hemorrhoids and diverticulosis, a condition in which small sacs
develop in weak areas of the intestinal wall. It does so by softening
stools and speeding up the movement of waste through the intestinal
tract. Fiber may also help ease the symptoms of irritable bowel
syndrome, a condition characterized by alternating constipation and
diarrhea, gas, and cramps.
While much research has focused on the link between fiber and
gastrointestinal health, studies also show that dietary fiber may
protect against breast cancer, according to David P. Rose, M.D., Ph.D.,
D.Sc., chief of the division of nutrition and endocrinology for the
American Health Foundation in Valhalla, New York. High intakes of
fiber have been shown to reduce estrogen levels in the blood, he
says. That’s important because high levels of estrogen are associated
with increased breast cancer risk.
Fiber may reduce estrogen by binding with it in the intestine before
carrying it out of the body in the stool. Fiber may also help prevent the
reabsorption of estrogen in the blood.

Soluble fiber has another cholesterol-lowering effect, Dr. Wolever
says. It binds with bile acids, which affects the way the liver handles
blood cholesterol. As a net result of this process, cholesterol levels
go down.
This cholesterol-lowering effect of fiber seems to be limited to
specific foods and supplements that contain a generous amount of
soluble fiber, including pectin, guar gum, psyllium, oat bran, oatmeal,
and legumes.
Health experts generally recommend that you get your fiber from food,
not supplements, because food contains nutrients that supplements
don’t.
"I don’t often prescribe fiber supplements, because I want people to
change to a whole-foods diet," says William D. Nelson, N.D., a
naturopathic doctor at the Docere Naturopathic Centre in Colorado
Springs. Patients who switch from processed and fast foods to whole
foods, including whole grains, fresh vegetables, fruits, and beans,
usually don’t need supplemental fiber, he says.
Sometimes, though, we can’t or won’t get all the fiber we need. That’s
when supplements can help, says Dr. Beck. "Most of us are very busy.
Fiber supplements allow us to worry less about what we’re eating."
Whether you’re adding more fiber-rich foods to your diet or taking
fiber supplements, you need to increase your intake gradually. Since
fiber isn’t absorbed, it can ferment in the intestine, causing gas,
bloating, cramps, and diarrhea.
Always drink at least eight ounces of water with a fiber supplement,
advises Dr. Beck. Fiber acts like a sponge, and if you don’t drink
plenty of fluids, it can swell and block part of the gastrointestinal tract.
It can also block the esophagus, so experts recommend avoiding fiber
supplements if you have trouble swallowing.

Medicine is moving its focus to the area of inflammation in its search
for an underlying cause of disease. One of the most commonly
discussed inflammatory markers is C reactive protein (CRP). This is a
protein produced during all kinds of inflammatory processes.

C reactive protein level is one of the strongest risk indicators for the
development of atherosclerosis and heart disease. Discussion of
controlling levels of this inflammatory marker have focused on the
use of fish oils and antioxidants, particularly vitamin C.

Researcher Yunscheng Ma, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the
University of Massachusetts, recently conducted a study which
suggests an unusual means of reducing C reactive protein and
inflammation in the body. The researcher studied the data of 524
healthy adults and found that there is an inverse relationship or
association between total daily dietary fiber intake and levels of C
reactive protein.

The quarter of the test subjects on the highest fiber intake had a 63%
lower risk of having elevated CRP than did those in the lowest
quartile of fiber intake. Average fiber intake for those getting the
most fiber was 22.36 grams a day, while the average fiber in the diet
of those on the lowest intake was 10.22 grams per day. This writer
feels that a healthy fiber intake should be at least 25-35 grams a day!

This observation is quite surprising and unexpected. One would not
usually seek to reduce inflammation by increasing fiber intake. The
observation does not make sense, however.

Fiber moves bacteria through the digestive tract, preventing the
buildup of bacterial populations and bacterial toxins. Some types of
fiber also provide nutrition for the digestive tract. High fiber intake
appears to reduce the risk of oxidation of fats and may promote the
excretion in the bile of excess fats.

A diet high in refined carbohydrates and low in fiber may lead to
elevated blood sugar which causes the excretion by the immune
system of inflammatory compounds.

Fiber intake can be increased by greater intake of whole grains, fruits
and vegetables in the diet.

Benefits of Fiber:
The benefits of fiber go far beyond prevention of cancer of the colon.
Research credits fiber with reducing the risk of heart disease,
biventricular disease, appendicitis, phlebitis and obesity. Fiber also
prevents constipation which can lead to hemorrhoids, varicose veins,
and phlebitis.

Hemorrhoids
Nearly half of the population of United States over 50 years of age
suffers with hemorrhoids, and it is no laughing matter. Hemorrhoids
are a major cause of pain and disability. Tens of millions of dollars are
spent each year on preparations and suppositories which cannot
possibly affect the basic problem.

Clearly there is no way to reverse the damage already done to the
veins of the rectu and anus. But a high-roughage diet can help
prevent bleeding, relieve the pressure within the stretched and
distorted veins, and help forestall the formation of new hemorrhoids.
It can also provide freedom from the expensive ritual of ointments,
suppositories, laxatives, and all the rest of the patent medicines that
hemorrhoid suffers turn to in desperation.

Varicose Veins
Increasing the fiber intake will also prevent varicose veins in much
the same way it prevents hemorrhoids. Straining at the stool due to
inadequate fiber intake places stress on the veins and contributes to
the development of varicose veins. Varicose veins are a precursor to
more serious problems: phlebothrombosis (a blood clot in a vein),
thrombophlebitis (inflammation of the vein), and pulmonary embolism
(in which the clot breaks loose and plugs pulmonary arteries leading
to circulatory collapse, heart failure and even death).

GNLD Fiber Products
GNLD offers a number of fiber supplements. One favorite is the
Vitality Multi-Fiber Blend. The supplement boasts a blend of 19
different fibers with no added sugars, starches, artificial colors or
preservatives. This supplement can be added to protein drinks, fruit
juice or milk. It can also be added to baked goods as a thickener and
to increase fiber content.

Another popular fiber product is the All Natural Fiber. This GNLD fiber
contains the company�s exclusive Neo-Polyfibe, the cellular matrix of
the heart of the soybean blended with specially selected whole oat
and acerola fiber. Unlike bran, this fiber component can help absorb
cholesterol from the digestive tract and carry it out ofa the body,
without robbing the body of minerals as is the case with some other
fiber products.

Another unique GNLD fiber product is the GR2 Appetite Reducer. This
supplement contains a fiber from Konjac called glucomannan which
has the unique property of expanding up to 50 times its weight when
moistened. This forms something like a jell in the stomach which
makes a person feel full. The fiber also slows the absorption of
carbohydrates keeping blood sugar stable, increasing energy, and
making it easier to lose weight. Appetite Reducer contains other
kinds of fibers which have been shown to regulate blood sugar. For
example, barley bran has been used as a natural treatment for
diabetes in Iraq.

It is very important to realize that there is not one type of fiber, there
are many types of fiber. Insoluble fibers bulk up the stool and are
very efficient at alleviating constipation problems and reducing the
risk of appendicitis, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids.

Soluble fibers are much more efficient at slowing the absorption of
glucose providing benefits for those with blood sugar irregularities
and reducing the risk of obesity and heart disease.

Pectins are a type of fiber which is particularly valuable for absorbing
toxins from the gut and promoting their elimination. These toxins can
make a person feel poorly if they are absorbed into the bloodstream
and circulated throughout the body.

GNLD uses multiple sources of fiber in their fiber products because
they are seeking to provide the wide variety of fibers found in foods.
This is highly desirable as one type of fiber, while it may be beneficial,
will not provide the full range of benefits offered by the spectrum of
fibers available from different food sources.
