A fiber deficient diet increases your risk of constipation, hemorrhoids, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, obesity, colon cancer and heart disease. In other words, high fiber foods are essential to your health alongside you feeling and looking your best.
By following the American Standard Diet there could be up to eight meals of food stored in the colon at any given time. Increasing your fiber intake to 30 grams a day will promote regular eliminations that could reduce that amount to three meals. This can reduce abdominal bloating and the amount of harmful toxins and bacteria released into the body from rotting foods and putrefying proteins sitting in the intestines and colon.
