High Fiber Foods
While it may not get all of the glowing accolades of some of the exotic nutrients of today such as antioxidants or fish oils, nevertheless, high fiber foods are some of the most important food components for baby boomers. Not only is a high fiber diet essential for bowel regularity and elimination, research has shown that daily dietary fiber consumption also helps reduce the risk of colon cancer, heart disease, diabetes and diverticular disease. We feel that it is so extremely important to the health of baby boomers that we’ve included a 4,000-milligram fiber blend in each serving of PROUD BOOMER. Let’s take a closer look at this unheralded but essential food element.

Fiber is the non-digestible part of carbohydrate foods. It is present in all plants that are eaten for food, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. However, not all fiber is the same, and there are a number of ways to categorize it. It can be either insoluble such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, or soluble such as pectin and guar gum. Since fiber cannot be digested, it provides no energy or nutritional value to the body.

What fiber does do is provide roughage to your system. This fiber-derived roughage helps soften the stool and assist in regular elimination of body wastes. Fiber also helps add bulk to the diet without adding extra calories.

And here’s some additional good news for those of you who are trying to lose weight. The high fiber diet has also proved to be very beneficial for weight loss programs. At least five studies over the past few years have shown that consistent intake helps decrease body fat. Futhermore, it also helps control hunger and helps regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates. PROUD BOOMER contains 4 grams of fiber blend per serving with only 200 calories, it makes an ideal weight loss drink.

Since it is such an important part of a healthy diet, you should be striving to get a least the minimum recommended amount of 20-35 grams of dietary fiber per day. In addition to PROUD BOOMER, other good sources include fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and legumes, and whole-grain foods.
