Natural Fiber Cleanse

Natural fiber cleanse is a technique often used to rid the body of potentially harmful toxins, excess waste and to lose weight. If done for the right reasons, and not only with the intention of losing weight, the natural fiber cleanse is a great way to help rejuvenate and energize the body.

  1. Directions

    • The fiber cleanse has different ways in which it can be done. Ultimately, one should decrease all food intake, with the exception of high fiber foods. These high fiber foods should include little or no sugar and fat. Fiber supplements or pills may also be taken, but read the ingredients and know what you are taking. There are many fad diets out there, and many fad diet pills that can contain unhealthy additives, put there to help you quickly lose weight and make you believe the pills are magical. A fiber cleanse can last anywhere from 24 hours to 10 days. The length of the cleanse will depend on your individual needs, requirements and desires.

    Effects

    • The best results of a natural fiber cleanse are weight loss, lowering of cholesterol and the balancing of blood sugar levels. With the elimination of excess waste in your body, and eating less sugar, fats and carbohydrates, weight loss is often a sure thing. It is, however, only temporary unless you continue making good healthy eating choices and exercising. Side effects could be loose bowels, an increase in gas and stomach cramping. If these occur and are severe, it is best to stop the natural fiber cleanse and consult a physician.

    Foods

    • The best high fiber foods to eat during a natural fiber cleanse include apples, broccoli, beans, whole grain muffins and fiber bars. There are also many supplements available at health food stores that also include high fiber drinks. Some fiber supplements found in powder form can be added to soft drinks, juices and coffee, and disguised into your diet. The recommended amount of fiber for every diet is 25 to 35 g. By doing the natural fiber cleanse, you are increasing that fiber intake slightly, but more important, you are eliminating all the other foods to give your body a chance to cleanse itself.

      A natural fiber cleanse is often a healthier method for one's body, since fiber is a natural part of diet. It also is not a diet that requires someone to fast for several days. As long as fiber rich foods are chosen, one can continue to eat while on the natural fiber cleanse.
