(This is part 2 of a 3 part series)It helps bind and remove dangerous toxins. We are living in the most polluted time man has ever seen. And let me just tell you, you got to get these toxins out. Fiber will help bind and remove them in your digestive tract, and then help eliminate them to get them out of your body. Fiber prevents constipation. I've seen some incredible statistics. Many people believe that a large percentage of Americans are actually walking around constipated. Do you know anyone like that? Maybe intimately? We're showing you what you can do about it.Another benefit of fiber, it lowers the risks of many bowel diseases. Remember, 50,000 new cases of colon cancer diagnosed every year. It lowers the risk of colon cancer. Diets high in fiber may help prevent many of these issues like colitis, constipation, Crohn's disease, diabetes, hemorrhoids, hypertension, kidney stones, periodontal disease. It even has to do with your teeth and your mouth. Prostate cancer, varicose veins, breast cancer, colon and colorectal cancer, coronary heart disease, diverticular disease. That's diverticulitis. Gallstones, hiatal hernias, irritable bowel syndrome, obesity. Remember, well over 60 percent in the United States of America, of Americans, are considered clinically obese. Rheumatoid arthritis. It's so beneficial. So, how much fiber do you need in your daily diet? Well that's a great question. Let's go to the experts. According to the American Heart Association, the American Diabetic Association, and the American Cancer Society, every one of them recommend diets high in fiber for maximum health.With that being said, the RDA, the daily allowance for fiber is 25 grams. That's the minimum you should get. Every healthcare professional that I know and work with personally, and all the good nutritionists will recommend 35-45 grams of fiber a day for maximum levels of health and wellness. And the average American gets between 11-13 grams per day. Yes, that's 11 and 13 grams per day. Wow, that's a big wow.

Now you have to take the right action and that will equal your power to create positive results in this very important and essential area. Okay, now I'm going to teach you 10 simple ways to increase fiber in your diet. It's simple, it's fun, and let me tell you something, your focus is so important in every area of your life. I just got to tell you that. You have to fight for your focus. Never possess what you're not willing to pursue. So we want to encourage you to practice the power of prevention, that's what we're doing here. Little changes in your habits. Your decisions will decide your destiny, and your destiny is hidden in your daily routine. So here's simple ways to increase fiber in your diet every day. Add nuts, seeds, to your soups, to your salads, to your cereals, to your yogurt, to your veggies. Add nuts. I don't know what kinds of nuts you like, walnuts, you know, pistachios, almonds are great. There's so many different kind of nuts out there. Hazelnuts, and I mean, Brazil nuts, whatever you like, add some nuts. They have healthy fats and they're a great source of fiber. So add nuts, seeds, to your soups, salads, cereals, yogurts, and veggies.Keep frozen blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, in your freezer, and add to your shakes, your cereals, your yogurt. Snack on them in the day. I like to snack on them at night before I go to bed instead of eating something real heavy and real unhealthy. That's so important. And I got to tell you, you can keep them in your freezer, you can buy them in any major store, and they're not really that expensive, and they're a great source of fiber. Eat fresh fruits every day. That's right, prior planning prevents poor performance. Let me say that again, prior and proper planning prevents poor performance. Prior and proper planning prevents poor performance. Now try to say that 10 times quick. Let me just tell you, it's so important being planning, and planning to be healthy. So you have to plan what you're going to eat. Plan your menu. Make sure you have some fruits around every day. I don't know what kind of fruit you like. My fiancé loves mangos. She could eat 5 mangos a day. So we always have mangos around. You know, what fruits do you like? Make sure you have them. What fruits are in season and are really beneficial. Eat fresh fruits every day.Eat fresh veggies every day. Make a commitment that you're going to eat a few servings of fresh vegetables every single day. Eat an apple a day. You've heard the whole adage, an apple a day keeps the doctor away. That's really really true. Why? Fiber, it's so important. So eat yourself an apple every single day. Just make sure you eat an apple, whether you dice it up, whether you, you know, whether you just bite it, whether you take it with you, put it in your bag, put it in your lunchbox, put it in your handbag, take an apple a day.Eat more legumes and beans. Hey beans are really really high in fiber and they're healthy. Black beans are awesome. I like navy beans. My fiancé loves kidney beans. I mean, beans are really really a great source of fiber. So take advantage of them, make sure you work them into your menus, 1, 2, 3 times a week. I know some people that are committed to fiber and they take 1 or 2 days a week and just eat a total vegetarian diet on them days and they use beans. So however you want to do it, just do it.Next step, eat real whole wheat or brown rice, grains, breads, and pastas. Now this is important, do your homework. I like pasta, but I got to tell you, I just can't eat pasta, it doesn't really agree with me, so when I do eat pasta I eat whole wheat pasta or brown rice pasta. It's an excellent source of great natural energy, and also it's really beneficial because it has lots of fiber. The reason I say real is you really have to learn to read labels because so many people are hiding corn syrups, they're hiding sugars, they're hiding, you know, hidden fats, or things you don't want in there. So eat pure real whole wheat or brown rice pasta. Eat pure whole grains, and breads, and pastas. Do your homework. I got to tell you, I read a study that you'd have to eat 50 slices of white bread, of processed refined, any type of white bread, you'd have to eat 50 slices to get 6 six grams of fiber. Get a good whole grain bread or a bagel or a pasta or a pita that you like and really eat that, just change, change some of your little habits.Always carry healthy high fiber snacks wherever you go. Cut up fresh veggies, carrot sticks, celery sticks, whatever you like. Bring them with you. Fruits, dried fruits are good. Whole grain snacks, there's a lot of great ones out there that are clean are pure that are really really good. Find a really good bar, but a good bar, that's sweetened with the right stuff that's low in sugar and high in fiber, and really low in fat. There's a lot of bars out there that they use deceptive marketing. You see them, they're marketed with billion dollar marketing campaigns, but when you look at them it's like eating candy bar, there's so much sugar and so much processed stuff in there. So get a really really good bar and eat whole grains.
