Written by: Always Foodie

My spouse has recently been diagnosed with high blood cholesterol diabetic and he is advised of including food with fiber in his diet, to lower down the blood cholesterol. I want to know about the best fiber food, as I am concerned about his health, and I want to know what amount of fiber would suffice for him, as he is 32 years of age? I would be grateful if someone is able to provide me an insight of food with fiber? Thanks.

    Your concern is genuine. Your question would have been a bitmore helpful if you would have stated your spouse’s food habits before he wasdiagnosed with high blood cholesterol. But since I do not have that aid, Iwould like to make you aware of certain facts and proportions regarding fibrous food. Is To begin with, it is always good to keep in mind that a balanced diet coupled with some regular twisting ofmuscles is the best for the body. Anything in excess is harmful, even if it isfibre. If your spouse has been on a high fat diet all this while, it would be aserious advise to strictly follow a fruit and raw veggie diet. All fruitsand vegetables contain fibre. If you wish to avoid carbohydrate intake in hisdiet and go for pure fibre, go for raw papaya, juicy apples and oranges. Pleaseavoid extracting juices rather include raw and whole fruits in his diet. Whole fruitsare richer in fibre than their juice. Secondly, avoid the use of refined flour.Try and make use of low gluten wheat which is just out of the mill and ofcourse, just out of the grain. Go for brown bread instead of the regular whiteone. Include a lot of cabbage, lettuce and broccoli in your regular salads. Apartfrom being rich in fibre, they are rich in anti oxidants. At the end, it is ahumble request not to totally stop the intake of a particular nutrient and gofor an excess of another.
