Question:
How much fiber should adults have daily?
Las dietas ricas en fibra
La American Heart Association sugiere que la gente come una dieta rica en fibra para ayudar a mantener un cuerpo sano. La fibra no sólo ayuda a mantener el sistema digestivo saludable, pero también ayuda a reducir el colesterol que ayuda a la enfermedad de la batalla del corazón.
Buenas fuentes de fibra incluyen frutas, verduras, granos enteros, alimentos fortificados, y los frijoles.
Los adultos deben comer 15 gramos de fibra dietética al día. Algunos expertos y organizaciones recomiendan comer más, quizás hasta 20 gramos de fibra al día.
La fibra se clasifica en categorías soluble e insoluble. Es la fibra soluble que ayuda a reducir el colesterol. La fibra soluble se encuentra en alimentos tales como: salvado de avena, avena, frijoles, salvado de arroz, cebada, naranja u otros cítricos y las fresas. Bajar el colesterol puede ayudar a combatir las enfermedades cardíacas.
La fibra insoluble no ayudar a bajar el colesterol, pero es esencial para mantener el sistema digestivo del cuerpo sano.
Es importante leer las etiquetas de los alimentos cuidadosamente. Muchos alimentos procesados con salvado a menudo no contienen salvado de lo suficiente para ayudar a bajar el colesterol.
