I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.

I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!

I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.

Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

Eat Fiber To Reduce Belly Fat

New research shows that eating more fiber can help trim America's waistlines. A study of 85 overweight boys and girls who increased their fiber intake over a two-year period had considerable decreases in belly fat. On the other hand, those who ate less fiber gained more fat around their waists.

Belly fat is the most dangerous type of body fat. Other studies have shown that bigger waistlines correspond to higher risk of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The recommended fiber intake for young people is 14 grams per 1,000 calories consumed. This is equivalent to 25-30 grams per day. Just consuming 6 more grams of fiber a day (the amount in a single whole-wheat tortilla, or half a cup of beans) can significantly impact young people's belly fat.

Labels are important in determining fiber content. Just because a food says "whole wheat" or "multigrain" does not mean that it is a good source of fiber. Brown foods might not be healthy even if it is wheat. It is wiser to check the Nutrition Facts label to see the amount of fiber per serving the food actually contains.
