Keeping Your Blood Pressure Down By Cleansing The Body
By M. A. Fulmar
How do you know if you are getting enough fiber? You should have an easy bowel movement every twenty four hours. The stools should be well formed, their color should be light brown, and preferably about 10 percent will float. If your stools don't fit that profile, start using a good fiber supplement.
Metamucil is the standard against in which to measure all fiber supplements. It is safe and consistent from one batch to the next. Select the version that is not artificially sweetened; it comes unflavored and orange flavor, either of which is fine. You can take as much Metamucil as you desire. Indeed, it is probably acceptable to take up to six or more tablespoon servings daily. This has been done in many clinical tests.
Drugstores have a wide selection of fiber supplements besides Metamucil. Most of them are made from psyllium seeds, which are mostly mucilage, a type of fiber. They don't contain the seed matrix, are gentle, and also work well. Mix about one or two heaping teaspoonfuls or one tablespoon with water and drink thirty minutes before a meal.
