Most processed and refined foods contain ingredients that are toxic, carcinogenic, and chemically don't even resemble food. Eat foods that are low in glycemic index. Be sure to eat previously described low glycemic index foods. Properly combine foods. Fruits should be eaten alone.
Dietary fiber contains soluble and insoluble compounds.
Soluble fiber is fermented by the microflora of the colon and produce short-chain fatty acids such as butyric acid. Butyric acid is used by the mucosa of the colon as its main source of fuel. Butyric acid is metabolized to glutamine, which is an essential fuel for the small intestines. The high-fiber diet should be supplemented with fresh fruit or vegetables and fresh fruit and vegetable juices. Psyllium, oat products, guar gum and fruits and vegetables are a good source of soluble fiber.
