Happy Tummy
Saturday, 26 July 2008
From my quest for the best acne treatment comes my quest for the all-natural source of fiber.

I am, lately, one of those who upholds the power of fiber in our system. I am happy to have added C-Lium Fibre in my daily (morning) routine. I'd take Bee Pollen first then 30 minutes before my first meal, I'd take C-Lium Fibre.

I have seen my landlady, Tita Ida, taking it one time. To feed my curiosity, of course, I did my research on the product. But first, the importance of fiber:

Fiber absorbs large amounts of water in the bowels, and this makes stools softer and easier to pass. Anyone starting a higher-fiber diet will notice the difference in stool bulk and in almost all cases, increasing fiber in the diet will relieve constipation within hours or days.

Because stools are easier to pass, less straining is necessary, and this can help relieve hemorrhoids.

By improving the solidity and bulk of solid waste it also helps to keep those who are aging more regular, less constipated. The result, supported by many studies, is (among other benefits) a reduction in the odds of colon cancer.

Insoluble fiber, so-called because it doesn't dissolve readily in water, can be found in nuts, wheat bran, whole grains and many vegetables. But there's another kind called, not surprisingly, soluble fiber. As the name suggests it does dissolve readily in water. It, too, has benefits.

The soluble variety is found in citrus fruit like oranges and lemons, apples, beans, oats and barley grain. Among its other virtues, studies strongly suggest that some soluble fibers (beta glucan) can help reduce cholesterol.

C-Lium Fibre contains soluble fiber-- Psyllium. Though it (Psyllium) may be considered as laxative, it is more often called dietary fiber. It dissolves readily in water. I mix a sachet to half-a-glass of water then drink it straight. Never mind the blandness, I have one happy tummy every day-- the reason why I gave BS a sachet so she could try. I told her that if laxatives doesn't work for her well, then high-fiber diet might help. I hope it does. And I hope she'd like the texture when drinking it.

Anyway, there could be a lot of brands or fiber-supplements to choose from, I am more than satisfied with my choice. *burp*
