Today I want to talk to you about the importance of fiber, it helps the natural movement of the intestine to process food. It works like a broom that frees the passage, thus avoiding inflammation and constipation. Dietary fiber is mainly contained in: legumes, fruits and cereals. Of the latter, you should prefer the whole grains since they preserve the germ and the bran, which are discarded when they are refined. Another advantage of including fiber in your diet is its ability to absorb water, allowing you to feel satiated and light. The Mayo Clinic is one of the American authorities on nutrition and recommends a daily intake of whole grains and legumes rich in potassium, selenium and magnesium, which are key for good digestion. Another benefit that you should take into account is the elimination of cholesterol from the circulatory network and the proper functioning of the heart. Thus avoiding problems such as hypertension and varicose veins. Include a 30 g portion of fiber (oats, flaxseed, barley) in your breakfast. Add them to Greek yogurt or sliced fruit. This serving will provide 3 to 4 g of protein, sufficient in the recommended table, adding fresh fruits. The vegetables can be raw in delicious salads or lightly poached and steamed.

A must in your diet. Place fiber as your ally in your eating plan. For best results, go to your specialist for more specific information about portions and measurements.
