Avoid Diabetes With Fiber. . . .

Women’s Health Magazine reports that fiber found in cereal, bread, and various grain products may reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes.  The study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that people who consume the most cereal fiber were 27% less likely to get diabetes than those who consumed the least.  These findings suggest that insoluble fiber in cereal and grains makes your cells more sensitive to insulin and therefore reduces your risk of diabetes.

You’ve probably heard it all over the news and commercials, but the recommended intake of fiber is 25 grams a day.  Go for whole-grain breads, high fiber cereals, and health bars. Women’s Health says Gnu Foods Flavor & Fiber bars are a smart choice.
