Mother Nature was brilliant when she created fruits and vegetables because she added fiber as part of the natural packaging. When you eat real food, you’ll never have to worry if you’re getting enough fiber because you’ll be consuming it automatically. In your busy life, you have many more fun things to think about than the quantity of fiber in your lunch.
The fiber in food is what makes it take a while to cook and eat. Fast food and processed foods cook fast (and can be eaten fast) because they’ve been stripped of their fiber. Mother Nature created food with fiber for a number of reasons. Fiber makes you feel full so you don’t eat too much; it reduces your cholesterol levels; and it takes impurities out of your intestines quickly. That means fiber is necessary for proper elimination of waste and colon health. When you eat real food, you won’t have to count your fiber intake or use laxatives.
Have you ever eaten sugar cane? It’s like eating sweet wood. To make white sugar, every bit of fiber is removed from the cane. Unlike a piece of sugar cane, white sugar gives you nothing to chew or digest, it just melts on your tongue. The body wasn’t designed to eat foods stripped of their fiber. Real foods have their fiber still intact.
Cooking is easier than you think and you and your family are worth the time and effort it takes.
Food Safety Tip: Be certain to put raw meat on the lowest shelf in your refrigerator; if it drips it will not drip onto cooked food.
