The next time you feel like you are sitting
on top of the world, but find that's it's
actually Good Old Constipation, these tips
might came in handy: (Okay. Perhaps
handy wasn't the best selection of words.)
-
Brand your daily diet with bran.
-
Insert fresh fruit and veggies that are
high in fiber such as:
Parsnips
- 3.8 fiber grams
Yellow
Corn - 2.9 fiber grams
Chicory
- 3.6 fiber grams
Brussel
Sprouts 0 3.4 fiber grams
Bamboo
Shoots - 3.9 fiber grams
Artichoke
Hearts - 4.4 fiber grams
Dried
Apples - 5.6 fiber grams
Blackberries
- 7.2 fiber grams
Currants
- 5 fiber grams
Figs
- 5 fiber grams
Guava
- 4.9 fiber grams
Dried
Pears - 11.5 fiber grams
Raspberries
- 6.0 fiber grams
As
a note, dried fruit is generally packed
with much more fiber than its fresh counterpart,
but dried fruit also tends to be pricey
in calories and sugar content.
-
The media is packed full of people these
days who are going nutsy-coo-coo, trying
to get in all their fiber grams in one day.
In our personal experience, over the counter
fiber products tend to blow us up like Moby
Dick - and it's not a pleasant feeling.
In addition, we strongly feel that if our
bodies required so much fiber that we needed
to continually eat fiber-filled objects
all day - then something went wrong during
creation, and God doesn't make mistakes.
Perhaps
in time, studies will determine that our
bodies don't need as much fiber as they
thought. They are already finding
that the bulky green foods they recommended
for years to prevent and lower cancer risks
aren't as effective as originally determined.
