Fiber: Lose Weight And Stay Healthy Among different fiber sources, cereal fiber reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease significantly.
Studies proved that women who ate 23gms of fiber a day faced 46% lower risk of major coronary disease. A bowl of cold whole-grain breakfast cereal daily supplied 5 or more grams of fiber, reduced risk of heart disease by approximately 37% and affected blood coagulation favorably.
Fiber Reduces Risk of Strokes -Dietary fiber and antioxidants in fruits and vegetables are associated with a lower risk of heart disease.
Tests were conducted to find the association between ischemic stroke/ and fruits and vegetables.
Increase of one serving of fruit or vegetable reduced the risk of ischemic stroke in men and women by 7%. For people who ate 5-6 servings of fruits and vegetables, the risk reduced by 37%.
However, there was no further reduction in the stroke above 5-6 servings. Green leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables and Vitamin C rich fruits and vegetables caused the largest decrease in risk.
Fiber K.O’s Heart Disease -People who ate 3-4 servings of whole-grain a day, reduced 1/3rd or half the risk of developing heart disease. Check the ingredients in commercial foods to see whether they are truly made of whole grains. Snack foods especially contain refined flour and hydrogenated oils that can raise cholesterol more than any other saturated fat. People with high fiber intake faced the greatest reduced risk of mortality from all causes, including coronary heart disease. In high-fiber fruit and vegetable diet, folate, minerals and flavonoids are ingested that prevent all types of mortality including coronary heart disease.
Reduce Risk of Alzheimer’s disease – Middle-aged people, who faced the risk of mental decline, can delay the onset by eating green leafy and cruciferous vegetable daily.
Overweight middle-aged people faced twice the risk of developing dementia. Staying physically and socially active and eating lots of vegetables may reduce the risk of developing Alzheimers disease significantly.
