More Fiber In Our Diets Is Very Important.

      Because everyone's Body Chemistry is not the same, the lack of Fiber in our diets will give us Diarrhea or Constipation. Most of the food that we buy in a store, it has no Fiber and it has no real Vitamins and Minerals. A box of food may say " Vitamin Enriched " but those Vitamins in that box are man made.They are made from Oil-By-Products. Those Vitamin and Minerals are not Real. When the US Government began putting man made Vitamins into our food in the 1980's, Cancer found in people went way up. But in countries where the people are still eating the real Vitamin enriched foods, the Cancer rate is very low.
      What foods out there are naturally enriched with lots of Real Fiber, Vitamins and Minerals. All fresh fruits and vegetables eaten raw are very rich in Fiber and Vitamins. The eating of whole grains are also very high in Fiber. The white store bought flour which comes from wheat, this flour has no Fiber or Vitamins. Both the Fiber enriched " Bran and Germ " that is found in wheat, these both have been removed and then the flour was bleached to a bright white. For best results it is wise to buy an Electric Wheat Grinder and grind up your own flour from any whole grains. This fresh flour is enriched in Real Vitamins and Minerals and it has lots of Fiber. By eating all the colors of the rainbow in the way of fruits and vegetables and the eating of whole grains everyday you will not suffer from Diarrhea or Constipation. From a College class that I took on nutrition I learned about this simple test that will show you if you are getting enough Fiber in your diet. After you have a bowel movement get off the toilet and look at your " Poop ". If it comes out in C or S shape, then you are getting enough Fiber in your diet.
      If you really was thinking that your Diet did not have enough Fiber in it, you could go to the store and buy some Bran. This food is 100%  Fiber. You could sprinkle this into your everyday coffee or orange juice. You could add it to your Yogurt, Soups, Stews or your morning cereals. In this way all your foods would be " Fiber Enriched " and having a lot of Fiber in your Diet will never be a problem.
      Now there are four groups of words that are printed on store bought products that are somewhat Brainwashing words and in using them companies can make a lot more money. Do not be fooled by these words. They are as follows:  " Fiber Enriched ", " Vitamin Enriched ", " Rich in Antioxidants " and the word " Organic ".
      The word " Organic " on a product means that it is not as refined as much as other foods. It also means that all the vegetables and fruits were grown from soils that were enrich with animal by products and compost and chemical sprays were not used. But some companies will put "Organic " on their product because people will pay more money for it. I always laugh when I see " Organic Milk ". Most cows eat grass from pastures and whole grains. So  99%  of the regular milk that you buy is already " Organic Milk ".and yet people are willing to pay a higher price for milk that has the word " Organic " on it.
      The other three words do not mean what they say they are but because companies will print them on the product  people are willing to pay a higher price for them. On the TV program called 20-20, they claimed that companies that were selling water in bottles, many of them were using tap water and not spring water. The companies would say that no matter what you put into the bottles people will always pay good money for them and tap water was just as good as anything.
      Having a lot of Fiber in your diet will help you to NOT to get Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. Of course there are four other factors that will help to prevent these two diseases and they are:  1.  Good Blood Circulation to the Brain. 2.  Lots of Oxygen going into the Brain.  3.  Lots of Good Cholesterol surrounding the Brain and  4.  Exercise your Brain everyday by doing thinking solutions like reading and writing or doing Math problems. Playing games that causes the mind to think will also exercise the Brain.

      Always remember that if you want a Fiber Enriched Diet then you must eat lots of Whole Grains and Fresh Fruits and Vegetables and  Do Not Trust A Box That Says  " Fiber Enriched ".
