Types of Fiber: Soluble; Insoluble; & Prebiotic.

So as I promised in my last article, "My New Regimen for Fiber", I am writing about the three types of fiber; soluble, insoluble, & prebiotic.  So lets begin with soluble fiber:  Good sources for soluble fiber: Broccoli, bananas, apples, berries, beans, legumes, oatmeal, bran cereals.  Soluble fiber helps build your immune system.  A healthy immune system is the protector, firewall, alarm system for your body.

Next is insoluble fiber.  A good source for insoluble fiber is: Celery, zucchini, beets, carrots, brussels sprouts, turnips & the skin from apples.   Insoluble fiber has been linked to lower cardiovascular risks.  Now I can see why they used to say, "An apple a day will keep the doctor away."  Apples fall in both categories soluble and insoluble.  Hum so maybe start adding at least one apple to your day as if it were needed for you to survive.

At last Prebiotic.  A good source for prebiotic fiber is: cottage cheese, onions, wild yams, Jeruselem artichoke.  Eating enough prebiotic fiber helps keep the balance of good and bad bacteria in your digestive tract.  So all and all this is just a briefing of all three fibers.  Please take some time and learn more about sources for these fibers, then incorporate them into your daily eating regimen and watch your health improve one day at a time.  Till next time,
