SUPER FOODS FOR IMMUNE: FIBER BEATS CANCER, INTESTINAL DISORDERS, DIABETES
Fibrous Super Foods are especially helpful in fighting cancer and intestinal disorders. Eating a lot of fiber makes your stool bulkier and softer, pushing it rapidly through the bowels. Getting the stool out faster reduces the amount of time your gut lining is exposed to potential carcinogens in the stool. In addition, fiber promotes the growth of aerobic bacteria (bacteria that requires oxygen to live) in the intestines, rather than the anaerobic bacteria encouraged by the low-fiber S.A.D. The S.A.D.’s anaerobic bacteria can break down bile acids into cancer-causing substances.
Thanks to the large amounts of fiber in my Super Food diet, straining and constipation are eliminated. This protects against hemorrhoids, appendicitis, varicose veins, diverticulosis (weak pockets in the large intestine caused by straining and constipation) and diverticulitis (an inflammation of those weak pockets). Gastroesophageal hiatal hernia, a condition that allows acid to pour onto the lining of the esophagus and cause the common “heartburn,” is also greatly ameliorated by the fibrous Super Food diet.
I’ve found fiber-rich diets to be useful in combating both insulin-dependent and noninsulin-dependent diabetes. Most of my diabetic patients, who have given up the S.A.D. in favor of a Super Food diet rich in fibrous foods have been able to reduce the amount of insulin they must take. Many can eventually do without insulin altogether.
High-fiber diets have another benefit: they can help you lose weight. Since we don’t digest and absorb fiber, it adds no calories to our diet. It also gives us a full feeling, so we don’t rush right back to the refrigerator after a meal.
