Stairway To Heaven: Step Up To High Fiber Health
The food pyramid is not a new concept. However, for the first time in more than a decade, the USDA has updated the food pyramid based on the latest scientific findings on how to treat your body to better health. Awareness of the benefits of healthy food choices, like high fiber foods, has been more and more prevalent in our proactive American quest for wise nutrition.
Fiberlady has continually emphasized a fruitful (one must learn to appreciate the pun) diet for her high fiber imperative. The undeniable truth is that vegetables, fruits and whole grains are needed for daily vitamins, minerals and fiber.
The first step (orange) of the new food pyramid recommends eating 5-8 ounces of grains per day depending on age and gender. Whole grains breads, cereals and brown rice are among the healthy choices. One step up (green) on the pyramid are the vegetables and fiber-rich plants. It is recommended 2½ cups of vegetables per day to include a variety of legumes, leafy greens and orange colored vegetables such as butternut or acorn squash. Next, the red step represents fruits. Eating two cups of fruit a day is the standard guideline.
Overall, here are the daily recommendations:
3 to 5 servings of vegetables
2 to 4 servings of fruits
2 to 3 servings of milk, yogurt & cheese
6 to 11 servings of bread, cereal, rice, & pasta
2 to 3 servings of meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs & nuts
Use fats, oils & sweets sparingly
The new food pyramid recognizes the essential role of dietary fiber every day. A high fiber diet helps to lower high cholesterol levels, aids in weight loss, controls diabetes, reduces the risk of colon cancer, lowers blood pressure and helps to curb heart disease.
In cultures where the foods are high in fiber and the fiber remains intact, there is a much lower rate of cancer. High fiber foods sweep out the colon, helping to prevent high concentrations of carcinogens from sticking around. Foods that are highly processed and overly refined (way too much of this stuff dominates our grocery shelves) attribute to the growing rate of cancer and other chronic diseases in our society.
Create and adapt your own nutritional plan based upon MyPyramid; choose wisely, and get plenty of exercise. The important lesson is that every change you make towards a healthier you is a positive step. Fiberlady asks you to learn an important new mantra. "Every little step counts."
And don't let anyone tell you differently... wheat is cracked up to what it's supposed to be.

 High Fiber Oat Bran Hot Cereal, 18 oz (1 lb 2 oz) 510 g Sale Price: $6.10 See Reviews For This Product DescriptionFriend of the Heart All Natural Kosher You Can See Our Quality! A deliciously smooth, high fiber cereal milled from high protein oats grown in the Great Northwest- some of the best oat-growing country in the whole United States! Bob's Red Mill Oat Bran Cereal is milled to contain a high concentration of the natural fiber found in oats. Three grams of soluble fiber from oatmeal daily in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. This cereal has two grams per serving. Dear Friends, Did you know that 9 out of 10 Americans do not meet their daily fiber consumption? It's true. That's unfortunate because eating enough fiber is so essential for good health. Fiber regulates the digestive system and helps pass waste and toxins out of the body. It absorbs fat and cholesterol that would otherwise make its way into the blood. Plus, fiber helps you to feel full faster, and filling up on high fiber foods leaves less room for high-fat, high-calorie, low-fiber foods. Depending on your age and gender, you should eat between 21 and 38 grams of fiber every day. Eating more whole grains, fruits and vegetables will help you get the fiber you need. Bob's Red Mill Oat Bran Hot Cereal is a delicious way to meet your body's fiber requirements. So for your good health, start enjoying it today. Wholesomely yours, Bob Moore |
