Is it hard for you 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?

Raw foods, both fruits and vegetables, provide high quantities of fiber. Eating lots of fiber has a ton of benefits: gets your digestion flowing, boosts your immune system and helps you to lose weight fast.

Recommended intake of fiber is 25g per day, which should come from at least 5 different servings of fruits and vegetables as well as 6 servings of grain products – half of which should be whole grain.

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 fats together and slows down the blood sugar response. When your blood sugar is regulated properly, you don’t have blood sugar spikes.

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 also has been associated with lowering total cholesterol and the now famously bad LDL cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease.

Foods that have soluble fiber include: oats, dried beans, nuts, flax seed, apples, carrots and broccoli.

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.

Maintaining an optimal level of pH within the intestines helps prevent microbes from producing cancerous substances which in turn prevents colon cancer.

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

To burn fat fast, eat forty grams of soluble & insoluble fiber every day.
