Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are sugar containing molecules of plant origin, such as sugars, starch and cellulose (fiber). Carbohydrates are very important us because they provide the energy to maintain our metabolism, as well as the carbon source for us carbon-based humanoids.

Dietary Fiber: Soluble and Insoluble Dietary Fiber

Dietary fiber can be grouped into two main categories - water-soluble and water insoluble dietary fiber. Water soluble fiber is of particular interest because research has shown that it can decrease cholesterol level, lower blood sugar and may have anti-cancer benefits.

The intestinal tract is the first step in good health, the first barrier for nutrients and the toxins that may accompany them. Dietary fiber increases stool volume, decreases bowel transit time, alleviates constipation. Dietary fiber also reduces appetite and helps decrease caloric intake.

In addition, dietary fiber is known to increase the good HDL cholesterol, a protective factor against coronary heart disease.

Clinical studies by Dr. Tapan K. Basu, Professor, Department of Agricultural, Food & Nutritional Science at the University of Alberta show that HDL-cholesterol (a protective factor against coronary heart disease, CHD) was significantly increased by Fibresonic supplementation for 30 days.

Inadequate dietary fiber intake has been linked to a variety of diseases, including bowel disorders, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Due to their lifestyle, most of the North Americans don't get the recommended 20 to 35 grams of dietary fiber each day that are needed for optimal health. A standard American diet contains on average of only 12 grams per day. It is therefore necessary for the North Americans to either eat more fruits and vegetables, or take dietary fiber supplement in order to meet their dietary fiber requirements and to maintain a healthy body.
