Alternative Health In Medicine Therapy: Eat More FiberEating lots of fiber rich foods significantly reduces the risk of colon cancer. Fiber foods are also good for the heart, diabetes and overall health. So why would someone not want to eat more fiber and improve their health?The reason why many people are lacking in certain vitamins and fiber is because they have a busy lifestyle. They do not take the time to prepare and or cook nutritious fiber rich meals. Eating more fruit for breakfast is an excellent way to start out the day and get your morning fiber. Making homemade fiber foods for the week using whole grains is also a great way to get your daily fiber. Prepare a bunch of no bake energy bars, using oats, peanut butter, raisins nuts, seeds, and raw honey. Cut into bars and freeze them. Take them with you as snacks to eat when you are hungry. For an easy no bake energy bar recipe, see the source at the end of this article. Other excellent fiber rich whole grain foods to eat are brown rice, oatmeal, and whole wheat. Brown rice crackers taste so good. They are a great way to eat crackers that won’t clog up our system like white flour crackers do. Mix together two cups cooked brown rice, two cups whole-wheat flour, one-teaspoon salt, one-cup safflower oil, and enough water to make dough. Then press this mixture thinly into two cookie sheets and cut into cracker size squares. Bake for 15 minutes in a 350-degree oven. Watch carefully because the ones on the bottom shelf will burn easily.
