Recently, I've seen a bunch of commercials promoting the benefits of fibre. In this case, you shouldn't skip past the commercials because Regis Philbin and co. are right – fiber is really good for you. True, it's not the tastiest, but the benefits of it are seemingly endless, and not just for staying regular. Fiber is help prevent heart disease, lowers cholesterol, can reduce hemorrhoids and can even play a role in metabolism! So what are you waiting for? Go pick up some All Bran or similar product – but take it with a bit of yogurt and fresh fruit so you don't feel like you're eating cardboard.
