Dear friend, Today, we think it's time to go back to the basics. After all, good health is not about popping the newest 'miracle pill' or keeping up with the hottest health trends and 'breakthroughs' ... Good health is built on a solid foundation. And it's easier than you think with these two simple rules: RULE#1: Eat a balanced diet. RULE#2: Eat good quality food. While there are many other rules, these mighty two will really make a difference to your health, wellbeing and energy levels as soon as you start obeying them. You might ask: What is a balanced diet? Sure you need your protein, carbohydrates and fat... but, is that all? Have you thought about fibre lately? Fibre – the Missing Piece to the Puzzle! Fibre is essential for a healthy diet. It helps maintain bowel health and softens your stool so it's easier to pass. Studies suggest that fibre may help lower bad cholesterol levels, improve blood sugar levels and even help you drop those pounds and lose belly fat. Impressive. Yet, chances are, unless you're irregular, you don't even think about fibre. What's there to think about, right? That's why fibre doesn't get the spotlight it deserves. Because most people don't think it's that important. Dr. Mike McGuigan of Australia's Edith Cowan University says “The recommended daily intake for women is 50 and younger is 25 grams of fibre.” Apparently, on average, people consume only 15 grams or less. So, chances are you're not getting enough fibre in your diet. Why is fibre so important? Consider the following studies...
Two Types of Fibre – Which One is Best for You?
Insoluble fibre is thick and rough in structure, and it won't dissolve in water. It promotes the movement of material through your digestive system and increases the bulk of stool so it's easier to pass, decreasing your chance of constipation. Good sources of insoluble fibre include whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, nuts and vegetables. Soluble fibre dissolves in water to form a gel-like material that softens and 'greases' the stool. It promotes regular bowel movements and well-formed stools. It also binds toxins in the colon. Oats, beans, barley, peas, carrots, and psyllium seed are all good sources of soluble fibre.
Melt that Belly Fat Away While Sitting on the Couch! Weight loss is hard. Period. For some people it's next to impossible. You try one diet after the next and the extra pounds keep getting harder and harder to remove. Why!?!?!? Well, it's easier to slim down if you add fibre to your diet... Dr. Joanne Slavin says that fibre requires extra chewing and slows the absorption of nutrients in your gut, so your body is tricked into thinking you've eaten enough. Sneaky! That sense of fullness is particularly true with soluble fibre that expands and forms a gel in the digestive tract. How much fibre do you need? Most health experts agree that we should aim for 25 to 35 grams of dietary fibre each day (a mix of both soluble and insoluble). Go easy on the supplements. You should try to get your fibre in your diet daily from food first, and supplements if needed. Remember, food first, supplements second. WARNING: While fibre is vital, there may be times when you need to limit or restrict your fibre intake. Generally, if you have abdominal cramping and diarrhoea, or are having certain surgeries, your doctor may recommend a low-fibre diet for a short period of time. Start Following a Balanced Diet TODAY!

A study published in American Journal of Epidemiology noted that individuals who get enough fibre in their diets, particularly from whole grains, may have a lower risk of developing chronic lung disease than those who eat few high-fibre foods.
There are two types of fibre. Soluble and insoluble fibre...
