Fiber Fights Belly Fat and Disease - When it comes to weight loss, belly fat is the biggest reason behind people looking into losing weight. The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar a year business. But did you know that you can lose belly fat simply by changing your diet? If I told you that a simple change in the amount of fiber intake you have on a daily basis can help you lose weight, would you be interested?

The relationship between your weight loss or gain and fiber is one of the most under estimated factors in nutrition today. However, a recent study by the University of Southern California is out to prove otherwise. They discovered that an increase of 6 grams of fiber in your diet on a daily basis can reduce your weight by up to 4% when compared to the average intake of fiber.

Fiber is important to belly fat control because it can help you digest foods faster and more efficiently. Foods with soluble fiber such as flaxseed, fruit, vegetables, beans, and oat bran are known to attract water to them so they can pass through the digestive tract faster with a gel like coating created by the water. Insoluble fiber has been known to speed up the time that it takes for food to leave your intestines. These foods, such as wheat bran and whole grains, are also very low in fat, which can be very beneficial to assisting your fiber increase with the loss of belly fat.

To speed up this digestive process you should exercise regularly. Aerobic, or cardiovascular, exercise can be very beneficial not only in the loss of belly fat, but general weight and heart health as well. The ideal exercise schedule would include at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise on a daily basis as well as some form of strength training such as lifting weights at least three times per week. Though this intense exercise schedule is not required to assist in the loss of belly fat with your additional fiber intake, it is common knowledge that exercise can greatly increase the speed at which you lose your belly fat.

As a benchmark for increasing your fiber, the ideal daily diet would include 25 to 35 grams of fiber. Though there are a variety of foods high in fiber, additional examples of high soluble fiber include raspberries, pears, lentils, and bran flakes. Examples of foods that are high and insoluble fiber include whole-wheat bagels, whole-wheat bread, artichokes, and peas. Ultimately, flaxseed has the highest amount of fiber available per serving and this would be your best option for increasing your fiber intake.

With a diet that’s high in fiber and regular exercise you can be well on your way to losing your belly fat in no time. Resist the temptation to eat foods that are high in fat whenever possible. Try not to miss out on exercising due to prior commitments. Exercise naturally speeds up your metabolism. Furthermore, it forces you to drink water, which is a natural appetite suppressant. With exercise and fiber, you’ll naturally eat less, eat healthier, and in the end, begin to lose weight and ultimately your belly fat. http://www.flaxseedhq.com/fiber-fights-belly-fat-and-disease

    1. Flax is very high in lignans, which have anti-tumor properties—lignans act as antioxidants that could mirror the results of Tamoxifen, the anti-cancer drug for breast cancer.
    2. Flax is a natural food that has been consumed for thousands of years by many civilizations with noticeable health…

After reading that mega-doses of flax seed oil can alleviate joint pain, I decided to give it a try. Starting yesterday, I have been taking 10 or 12 capsules per day, so about 1.2g.

I also got new shoes. They feel great but aren’t very fashionable.
