2. Many people today are advised by doctors to include health
supplements in their diet to ensure good health and disease
prevention. Fibers are among the best supplements required for
proper bowel functioning and getting rid of waste. There are
insoluble and soluble fibers that usually can be found in
different plant sources. If you include a lot of high fiber
products in your diet, you will be able to take enough of them
to stay healthy. For example, you can consume green leafy
vegetables on a regular basis to get the desired results.
Otherwise, you can make use of fiber health supplements
available these days.
3. Constipation becomes a widespread problem today due to the
sedentary lifestyle and improper diet. It is a troublesome
disorder that is caused by lack of enough fibers in a diet. To
overcome this disorder successfully, you need to add fibers in
your daily menu and make some changes in your way of life
by adding some more physical exercises. Fibers can also treat
other conditions connected with improper bowel movement.
Good fiber sources are beans, vegetables and fruits, whole
grains or fiber supplements that can be taken in case the
natural fibers are insufficient. If you suffer from a chronic or
severe constipation, the doctor may prescribe you fiber health
supplements to help you deal with the problem. These are
effective solution to constipation, experienced by pregnant
women too.
4. Keep in mind that you should necessarily consult with your
doctor before trying any nutritional supplements, as they
should be taken in some special occasions only. In case you
experience constipation of any form, you will find many
laxatives and stool softeners in drug stores you can take
advantage of. There are some brands of fiber supplements that
are considered to be best in the market, such as Konsyl,
Metamucil, Citrucel, Benefiber, etc. Although some of them
are sold over-the-counter, others may require prescription.
Fibers are also effective for weight loss, as they boost up the
metabolism of the body.
5. Some people report that after they start taking fiber supplements,
such symptoms as bloating, gas, flatulence and stomach ache
appear. To avoid these unpleasant symptoms, start with small
doses to ensure that the supplement you take suits you well. In
addition, make sure that you don't exceed the prescribed
amount, as their excess may lead to various side effects, like
weight gain, diarrhea and stomach disorders, instead to help
improve your health. Obtaining any kind of supplements over-the-
counter is not recommended, especially for pregnant
women, as they should be very careful about what they take. In
case a minimal side effect occurs, they should contact their
doctor right away.
6. Health supplements might be an option, but the better choice
would be to go for natural fibers found in foods, since in that
case you are not going to experience any side effects. If that is
impossible for you, then choose the best fiber supplement
brands that have proven to be effective and safe. Do not forget
to ask you doctor about his advise before you start taking fiber
supplements, as this may prevent many problems.
