Herbal FiberblendŽ. AIM Herbal FiberblendŽ is an exclusive formulation
available only through AIM Members.
Benefits
- A Variety of epidemiological (disease and population) studies have
found that in populations with high-fiber diets, the incidences of colon
cancer,
|
appendicitis, and diverticulosis, are very low. Industrialized
countries, which largely have a diet high in fat and low in fiber, have
high incidences of these diseases.
- Fiber has long been recognized as one of the best food ingredients for
maintaining regularity and preventing constipation. Consuming fiber
reduces transit time and results in a more thorough evacuation of waste
materials.
- Because fiber causes starches and sugars to be absorbed more slowly
into the bloodstream, the amount of glucose in the blood is reduced and
so is the work required of the pancreas in producing insulin.
- Water-soluble fiber may lower cholesterol because it prevents the
reabsorption of bile acids. Bile acids are made out of cholesterol, and
after they aid fat digestion, fiber binds with them and escorts them out
of the body. The liver then has to pull more cholesterol from the blood
to produce more. However, not all water-soluble fiber does this. The
fiber found in oat bran, legumes, and psyllium does. Studies reported by
the Kellogg Company indicate that a daily intake of 10 grams of psyllium
may lower cholesterol by as much as 15%
- Because fiber is low in calories, it can be added to your diet,
providing a greater feeling of satiety without significantly increasing
your caloric intake. In other words, you may find yourself eating less.
This is beneficial in weight-loss programs.

Questions
How much fiber should I consume daily?
Most nutritionists recommend 25 - 35 grams a day. A maintenance diet for
diabetics is almost 50 grams daily.
Are high-fiber diets good for everyone?
No. Some advanced diseases of the intestines seem to be aggravated by
high-fiber diets. If you have a colon disease, check with a health
practitioner before beginning a high-fiber diet.
Can high-fiber diets produce mineral deficiencies or remove
"good" bacteria?
Although research continues on this question, the most recent studies
indicate that fiber does none of this. In fact, friendly bacteria actually
feed on fiber and thrive in a high-fiber diet.
What is the shelf life of AIM Herbal FiberblendŽ?
Herbal Fiberblend has a shelf life of three - five years, unopened.
Can AIM Herbal FiberblendŽ be habit forming?
No. None of the constituents of Herbal Fiberblend is habit forming. However,
if you stop taking it, you will need to replace the fiber by eating more
natural fibers because your body will have grown accustomed to the amount of
bulking fiber in Herbal Fiberblend. If you do not replace it, you may
experience some constipation or irregularity as your body adjusts.
Can I take AIM Herbal FiberblendŽ with AIM BarleyGreenŽ, Just
Carrots, or RediBeets?
