Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that has no calories itself. Its function is to help form the stool, giving shape and consistency, also sequesters dietary cholesterol and prevents it from being absorbed in the intestine.

Obviously there are many kinds of fibers, but here we only deal with the dietary fiber, which we use in our food.

The dietary fiber found only in foods of plant origin, and has the characteristic of being attacked by enzymes in the stomach or small intestine, and allows it reaches the large intestine (colon) without degradation. In the large intestine is fermented by intestinal bacteria, favoring the maintenance and development of the intestinal flora. Also provides other benefits: it increases the feeling of satiety, contributes to more soluble in bile, helps to regulate glucose levels and cholesterol in the blood, and fights constipation.

Types of vegetable fibers

There are two groups of vegetable fibers:
- The soluble
- The insoluble

Both types of fiber help maintain bowel regularity. Cause satiety by their large collection of fluid. The main functions of gastrointestinal tract are ingestion, digestion, absorption and excretion.

Soluble fibers mixed with a liquid form a gel-like solution. Slow the absorption of glucose and cholesterol, which particularly benefits those with diabetes and those with high levels of fat in the blood. Sources of soluble fiber are:
- Oat bran (the outer part of the grains, before refining)
- Nuts
- Barley (seed)
- Seeds (source of stored food and is wrapped in a protective cover)
- Vegetables
- Apple skin
- Fruit
- Vegetables

Insoluble fibers do not mix with liquid and pass through the digestive tract (alimentary canal) largely intact. The sources of insoluble fiber are:
- Whole grains (cereals unprocessed, unrefined, natural)
- Wheat bran (the outer part of the grains, before refining)
- Grains

Digestion is the uncomfortable feeling that develops when you eat too much, or if you have food you feel bad.

Digestion can be prevented

Here are some tips for preventing and treating digestive problems.

Preventing indigestion

* Eat slowly, taking enough time and without haste.
* Always chew food.
* Take time to digest the food.
* No assets or exercise too soon after eating.
* Maintain a quiet, relaxed lunch and rest for a few minutes later.
* Do not take analgesics (such as an aspirin) on an empty stomach.

Treating digestive

* If you have an antacid can reduce your indigestion.
* The pharmacy is also available medications for indigestion.

If digestive problems persist, consult your doctor.

1. Eat well and often. Starving will not make you lose your belly, start the day with a good breakfast, but plenty of saturated fats or fried, and uses frequent small snacks throughout the day to keep your metabolism activated. Each day you must make at least 5 meals because when you go too long without eating your body starts saving mode, it spends very few calories and builds everything that comes “just in case”.

2. Leave the speed races. The faster you lose weight the less likely they are to keep the loss. Crash diets that make you starve to accelerate the process do not work long term. At the end stimulate your body to conserve its fat by famous yo-yo effect and generally make you lose water needed, especially if you exercise.

3. Choose your fats well. Remove fat is totally wrong because it is necessary, but chooses to type healthy monounsaturated fats (olive oil, nuts) and polyunsaturated fats (cold-water fish), controlling foods rich in saturated fats (meat, butter .. .) Check the labels and when you see “partially hydrogenated vegetable oil,” know that signals the presence of unhealthy fats like those damned trans fat.

4. Addressing the “hidden calories”. Some people get fat eating little, but do not pay attention to his can of carbonated beverage, the crunch candy bar, the cap of the bar or his glass of scotch every other day. In many cases these small snacks provide calories but not give you a feeling of fullness. A tin can contain 150 kcal, eliminate them from your diet and only lose 5 kg this gesture in a year.

5. “Liposuction? Do not think you can eat whatever you want and then get you fat in the operating room to spend your savings base. Liposuction removes subcutaneous fat or superficial, not deep visceral fat is what really poses a health risk. Fat cells removed you are gone forever but nothing prevents your body to make new fat cells.

6. Enjoy authentic drink with 0 calories. When you are hungry and a small healthy snack (yogurt, cereal, apple, etc..) You would not have filled the stomach or calm the anxiety, get an infusion of a pleasant taste. We suggest that tea rooibos has no caffeine or an infusion of liquorice, mint and anise if you want a sweet taste without adding sugar. Not only will you calm down, you also hydrate, are digestive and provide you with healthy nutrients and antioxidants.

7. Stick to the math and train every day. Each half kilo of fat contains 4500 kcal or what is the same, need all those kcal to get rid of half a kilo of pure fat (1 g fat = 9 kcal). With that removed 600 kcal per day with some exercise and taking care of your diet you will see your fat decreases by nearly 500 g per week (600 x 7 days = 4.200 kcal).

Mediterranean diet, in which high profile fish, gradually disappeared, especially among the youngest who refuse to eat vegetables and nuts and fish. But given the nature of the nutritional value of fish, we can not sit still, but must use creativity and put to work to increase their intake.

For the children and increase the intake of healthy meat, some tips for eating more fish and then enjoy the healthy fats from iron ore and their good protein we need every day.

* The form is also influenced by it, you can damage and prepare fish meatballs, hamburgers, cakes and puddings.

* The sauce is also really enjoy the fish, so you can accompany the pasta or salad dressing with cheese sauce and tuna, or salmon or shrimp-based.

* Fish skewers also a good alternative, you can include in them a sense of vegetables, and even add other fish meat in addition to achieving a complete and nutritious meal.
