Have fiber foods and be slim

Most of us find it easy to munch fried foods and quick meals from fast food restaurants than cooking elaborate healthy fiber foods at home. We all run out of time when we have busy schedule, but such food habits take a toll on our health that could prove to be detrimental at the later stage of life. Gaining some extra pounds is very easy, but we have to take lot of efforts to shed those pounds.Weight gain is not just an addition of body mass; rather it occurs because of so many changes in our body like slow metabolism and sluggish colon, which slows down the digestive process. This was the case with my friend, Carol. When Carol was in college, she weighed too beyond her age. She was lean until her higher secondary school and suddenly started gaining weight. The one major change that stood out in her eating habits was she was gobbling too much of pizzas and sandwiches, which increased the cholesterol level in her body. The result was within a year her body weight doubled and by the time she left college, she had gained too much of weight beyond her control. She tried all sorts of exercises, jogging, running to shed those extra pounds, but her body was not responding to those exercises. She even tried skipping meals and had hardly two meals a day, even then there was no improvement. The last thing she left out was herbal weight loss supplements.

Apart from gaining weight, she also got wheezing problem due to overweight. The one thing that stood out was her stomach, which was always bulged whether she had food or not. That was the time she chanced to meet a naturopathic doctor, Linda, through a friend of hers, when she was traveling to her native place. What stirred the conversation between them was Carol’s uncanny approach towards food. As she did not eat anything at all during the entire journey, the doctor became quite curious. Carol shared her body weight problem. When Dr Linda told her that the root cause of all problems is sluggish colon with lack of fiber foods that results in poor digestion, Carol was able to relate to her sloppy eating habits. She also learnt that fiber foods are essential for proper functioning of colon, otherwise colon does not function actively. The doctor also told her that herbal weight loss supplements contains essential herbs to stir up the functioning of colon. For Carol, it was a God sent message. She started on herbal weight loss supplements and continued with it for a year. Ever since then she has not had wheezing trouble and got her shape back.
