What does the high fiber diet do to your body?

The experiment looked into how quickly and effectively a high-fiber diet can start working.

The two truckers are on the test. They said their diets consist of whatever they can eat which of course these food has almost no fiber.

The first step was to measure just how slowly their guts were moving. Both swallowed a pill that contains a tiny transmitter so researchers can track how long it takes for them to process food. With hardly any fiber, it took nearly a full day for one trucker to pass his pill—and more than 42 hours for another one.
Then they went on a weeklong change, loading up on whole grain cereal bars, whole wheat bread and fruit with the skin on it. After a week on a high-fiber diet, the truckers swallowed the same pill. Both significantly reduced their transit times nearly in half.

The positive effects of getting enough fiber will happen almost immediately. The fiber help move things through your system every quickly, including toxins.
Dr. Oz said, “Bile, when it gets absorbed through the bowel, turns into cholesterol. So when you take a lot of fiber in your diet, you suck the bile out of you, and your cholesterol drops automatically. It also gets rid of sugar, which helps the diabetics. And it’s a great tool if you want to lose weight because it makes you feel full.”

Getting enough fiber is not just about eliminating the discomfort of constipation. Without enough fiber, there is an increased risk of bowel or colon cancer.

Do you need to get more fiber in your diet? Women need about 25 grams a day, and men need 35 grams a day. That’s anywhere between seven and nice helpings of fruits and vegetables.

Looking for a good sign!! When you start consuming great amount of fiber, at the end of the day you are going to have some gas since the fiber in the bowel is permeated by bacteria, the bacteria eat the fiber, and they make gas as their waste products.
