Happy Hiney: Keep Your Hiney Healthy With Fiber
Television and the Internet bombard us with the next best superfoods or supplement often claiming benefits that are unproven or untested. Products like acai berries, probiotics, lycopene, and green coffee come to mind as the most recent darlings of the supplement craze.
Fiber, while not technically a supplement, should be a major part of any well balanced diet and its benefits in the prevention of gastrointestinal complaints (constipation, hemorrhoids, diarrhea and diverticulitis), heart disease and diabetes are well studied and accepted. Unfortunately, while fiber is found in most fruits, vegetables, beans and grains, even those eating a healthy well balanced diet are often still fiber deficient.
