In a book I read more than 30 years ago titled The Save Your Life Diet, by Dr. David Reuben, he made the point that Americans are suffering from a deficiency of fiber. In all the time since then, the community of researchers have determined that we need to consume more plant based foods and they have not backed off that recommendation.
Keep in mind this simple rule, fiber only exists in plant based foods and obviously the more variety of foods you get in your diet each day the better quality of fiber will moved through your system. This component of food has a long list of health benefits and reduces the risk for all of the chronic diseases we are suffering from in America.
I will repeat this lesson often, it is not what you take out of your diet that makes you healthy, and it is what you add into it that will sustain you over the long run. Eat a grapefruit at breakfast, an apple on your break, have a salad for lunch and add some veggies at dinner, you will go a long way to a life of better health. This podcast talks about the benefits of fiber.
