Healing Outside The Box

It's common knowledge that fiber is good for us, but what does it do, and how does it improve our cholesterol levels? Today I will journey through our gastrointestinal tract to answer these questions. The American Heart Association, along with the NIH, published its annual report on the stats for heart attacks and strokes as relates to diet, exercise, and other lifestyle factors. Their lengthy report can be found here.   This Cleveland Clinic article gets into specifics about soluble versus insoluble fiber in the importance of both types of fiber. Fiber feeds our gut microorganisms, and this has been a frequent topic of mine. You may want to listen to episode 223  and episode 229 if you'd like to take control of your gut microorganisms. Feel free to contact me on my website contact page, which is Healing outside the box.
