Are you struggling to burn fat fast? As we grow older, so does the rest of our body. It seems like our metabolism starts to be at the pace of a snail. How do we fight this?

Uncooked veggies and fruits give you the most fiber. We have all heard about the benefits of fiber: keeps your digestive system moving, prevents certain diseases like cancer and keeps weight under control.

So how much fiber should you eat daily? 25 grams to be exact. These should come from a variety of fruits, veggies and whole grains.

There are two types of fiber found in raw foods: Soluble and Insoluble Fiber.The real power for your health is in understand how these 2 types of fiber can work for you. Both soluble and insoluble fiber can not be digested or absorbed into the bloodstream, but is still fundamental to the digestive process.  These are considered fast fat burning foods and should be eaten daily. Here’s how:

Soluble Fiber
Soluble fiber binds with fatty acids and prolongs stomach emptying time so that sugar is released and absorbed more slowly. This helps regulate blood sugar, i.e. no immediate sugar highs and crashing lows.

If you suffer from lifestyle diseases such as cancer, heart disease, or diabetes, or if you are trying to burn fat fast, then it is essential to  add more than 25 grams of fiber per day.

Soluble fiber is also known for it’s cholesterol lowering ability. Which in turn decreases your chances of cardiovascular disease.

Include soluble fiber in your diet by adding Oats, Oat Bran, Dried Beans and Peas, Nuts, Barley, Flax Seed, Fruits such as Oranges and Apples, and Vegetables such as Carrots.

Insoluble Fiber
Insoluble fiber moves bulk through the intestines which aids regular bowel movements and prevents constipation.  It also helps control or balance the pH (acidity) level in our intestines by removing toxic waste through the colon in less time.

If the body is alkalized, then cancers, bactieria, viruses, etc cannot grow in it because it is not a suitable environment.

Insoluble fiber can be found in green beans, spinach, strawberries, carrot and apple peelings and whole wheat items

To burn fat fast, it is extremely important to eat 40 grams of both types of fiber a day.
