Amazing facts about dietary fibers |
|
According to scientific research a diet rich in fibers is one of the best ways to be healthy and lose fat at the same time. Here are some reasons why:
- For every gram of fibers you add to your diet you block 7 calories. This means more than 250 calories if you take in 35 grams of fibers daily.
- Fibers burn out calories. Your body has to make more effort to digest them. In fact some foods high in fibers make your body burn out more calories than their own calorific value, thus creating calorie deficiency.
- Fibers are filling and can relieve hunger gripes. This makes you feel full while in fact you have taken in fewer calories.
- Fibers cleanse the intestinal tract. Because of their volume, they are able to “sweep” the large and small intestines like a broom taking away the toxins, the carcinogenic and fatty plaques and cholesterol. |
