When you think of diseases that shorten your life, the usual suspects come to mind: heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
I call them the triple threat because lots of seniors end up losing their lives to one… or all three… of these deadly diseases.
Fortunately, that may not be the case for much longer.
Because researchers have found and simple way to SLASH your risk of getting these diseases by a whopping 30%… and help you live a longer, healthier life.
And all you have to do is double your intake of a certain nutrient.
A brand-new study, published in The Lancet, analyzed the eating habits and disease outcomes of 5000 adults.
At the end, the researchers found that consuming 25 grams or more of fiber each day can cut your risk of developing colon cancer, heart disease, and diabetes by a WHOPPING 30 PERCENT!
Even better, eating more fiber can also lower your blood pressure, improve your cholesterol, and help you lose weight.
Plus, fiber helps eliminate toxins and balance your hormone levels.
And all of these health benefits can help extend your health… and your life.
The only problem? Most Americans only get about 12 grams of fiber every day – which is LESS THAN HALF of what your body needs to fight disease.
Luckily, getting more fiber couldn’t be easier or more delicious.
Here some of the tastiest fiber-rich foods:
- Vegetables and fruits like avocados strawberries, raspberries, pears, prunes black beans, cauliflower, and greens are all good sources.
- Flaxseed and psyllium are easy to add to most meals.
- Nuts like walnuts, almonds, pecans have a good amount of fiber.
It only takes a bit of effort to increase your fiber. Do it today and start living your healthiest life.
