According to studies, men who ate the most fiber-rich foods suffered 1/3 fewer heart attacks than those who had the lowest intake.

SOLUBLE FIBER 

Soluble fiber is the part of plant foods that cannot be digested by humans, and that dissolves in water. Common sources of soluble fiber include squash, apples, oats, beans, citrus fruits, peas and many vegetables.

A diet high in soluble fiber is beneficial because ingesting large amounts of soluble fiber, in conjunction with a low-fat diet, can:

§      Decrease blood cholesterol, which is good for your heart

§      Bind bile acids, which lowers cancer risk (particularly colon, rectal and breast cancer)

§      Keep you regular by stimulating the nerves of the intestines, and adding bulk and water to stools

§      Moderate levels of blood glucose by absorbing glucose from the small intestine, which can help prevent or control Type 2 Diabetes

Despite the beneficial effects of fiber, the average American digests only 11g of fiber a day, which is well below the 25-35g of daily fiber recommended by the USDA and the National Institute of Cancer. Fortunately, each 250g pack of AcaiTwist™ contains 5g of fiber, which is more than 25% of the recommended daily allowance.  So drink your way to a healthier you.
