Organic Fiber Bar Awesome Apple By Renew Life - 18 Bars What is Dietary Fiber? Fiber, sometimes called roughage, is an indigestible complex carbohydrate found in plants. Althought its one of the major nutrition categories along with proteins, fats and sugars, fiber is not, in and of itself, a food or substance. The Benefits of a High Fiber Diet - Research suggests that fiber may help prevent heart disease and obesity. Essentially, fiber is important because you need it to absorb toxins and keep you regular. Fiber bulks up waste, assisting it to move more rapidly through the colon, preventing constipation and many other health issues. The Challenge of Getting Enough Fiber in Your Diet - Most doctors recommend you consume 20 to 35 grams of fiber every day. To get that, you would need to eat 4 bowls of oatmeal, 14 slices of whole wheat bread or 10 servings of spinach. OR you can get the same amount by eating 2 Organic Fiber Bars. |
