| About this company : "LAXMI " SAT ISABGOL ( PSYLLIUM ) Psyllium seed husk is a dietary fiber from Plantago ovata that increases stool weight and promotes laxation by its presence in stool and by increasing the moisture content of stool. Beneift of Psyllium husk Psyllium may help with weight loss control. Psyllium is a wonderful bulking fiber for constipation. Another benefit of psyllium husk is that it reduces fecal incontinence. Psyllium helps maintain healthy cholesterol and blood lipid levels. In 1998, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorized the use of a health claim in the labeling of foods and dietary supplements containing psyllium husk. The health claim states that diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include soluble fiber per day from psyllium may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol. Psyllium may help maintain healthy blood pressure. Psyllium added to a traditional diet for persons with type II diabetes is safe, well tolerated, and improves glycemic and lipid control. Psyllium reduces radiation-induced diarrhea. Psyllium fiber is best taken in a dose of 1 to 5 grams with a meal, particularly if the meal has a low fiber content. You can mix half a teaspoon or a teaspoon with a glass of water, once or twice a day. I also recommend drinking a glass of water in the morning when you wake up.

 | LAXMI SAT ISABGOL N.A. Fiber by Ray Sahelian, M.D. A high fiber diet that includes diverse sources of fiber may help prevent several major risk factors for heart disease. Fiber does a heart good, and 25 grams per day is the "minimum" needed to reap significant benefits. In the U.S., it's been estimated that the average adult eats only about 15 grams of fiber a day. Dietary fiber Dietary fiber is the term for parts of plants a body can't digest. Fiber is classified as soluble or insoluble. When eaten regularly as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, soluble fiber has been shown to help lower blood cholesterol. Oats have the highest proportion of soluble fiber of any grain. High Fiber Food - Source of Fiber Foods high in soluble fiber include whole grains, oat bran, oatmeal, beans, peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits, strawberries and apple pulp. Insoluble fiber doesn't seem to help lower blood cholesterol. However, it's an important aid in normal bowel function. Foods high in insoluble fiber include whole-wheat breads, wheat cereals, wheat bran, rye, rice, barley, most other grains, cabbage, beets, carrots, Brussels sprouts, turnips, cauliflower and apple skin. Recently I discovered chia seeds which work similar to psyllium in being able to absorb a lot of water. Fiber supplement - Fiber pill - Types of Fiber Cascara Sagrada Modified Citrus Pectin Prebiotics Psyllium Fiber and Weight Loss The average fiber intake of adults in the United States is less than half recommended levels and is lower still among those who follow currently popular low-carbohydrate diets, such as Atkins and South Beach. Increasing consumption of dietary fiber with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes across the life cycle is a critical step in stemming the epidemic of obesity found in developed countries. The addition of functional fiber to weight-loss diets should also be considered as a tool to improve success. Fiber and Gallstones High-fiber diet reduces the risk for gallstones. Fiber and C Reactive Protein In a study of 524 healthy adults, investigators found that those with the highest fiber intake had lower blood levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) than those who ate the least fiber. The findings support the general recommendation that adults get 20 to 35 grams of fiber per day, in the form of fruits, vegetables, beans and whole grains. It's not clear why fiber may reduce inflammation, but it may lower cholesterol and blood sugar, both of which can contribute to inflammation. Both of the main forms of fiber, soluble and insoluble, were related to lower CRP levels. Soluble fiber is found in foods like oatmeal, beans, berries and apples, while whole grains and many vegetables are good sources of insoluble fiber. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, April 2006. Low fiber diet A low fiber diet is composed of foods that are low in residue content. This diet reduces fecal mass. A low fiber diet is sometimes used in the treatment of chronic diarrhea, colitis and other gastrointestinal disorders, although more recently, higher fiber diets have been employed for these purposes. Natural Fiber Research Update A study of nearly 6,000 men and women found that the higher the participants' fiber intake, the lower their risk of being overweight or having elevated blood pressure or cholesterol. The researchers also found that fiber from different sources had somewhat different effects. Fiber from whole grains, for example, was linked to lower body mass index (BMI), blood pressure and levels of a blood protein called homocysteine, which is connected to heart disease risk. Fruit fiber was associated with lower blood pressure and less abdominal fat, while fiber from vegetables appeared to lower the risk of high blood pressure and high homocysteine concentrations. And fiber from nuts, dried fruit and seeds was linked to a lower BMI, a lesser risk of abdominal obesity and lower blood sugar levels. These findings all point to the importance of getting fiber from a variety of sources, according to Denis Lairon, a researcher at the French national health institute INSERM and the study's lead author. The results also suggest that adults would do well to get more than the recommended fiber intake of roughly 25 grams per day, Lairon and his colleagues say. In their study, each 5-gram increase above that was linked to a greater decrease in the risks of being overweight or having high blood pressure or high cholesterol. People can generally have fiber intakes of up to 70 grams a day without having digestive symptoms such as bloating and cramping, Lairon told Reuters Health. He added, though, that a sudden jump in roughage intake might cause some problems. The study findings, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, are based on information on diet and lifestyle habits gathered from 5,961 adults ages 35 to 60. The men and women were separated into five group based on fiber intake. Lairon's team found that those with highest total intake had a 30 percent lower risk of being overweight -- with factors like age, calorie intake, exercise and smoking taken into account. They had similarly lower risks of high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol compared with their peers who ate the least fiber. SOURCE: American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, December 2005.
