What is the Psyllium (Psyllium Seed Husk)? 車子前 It's the coating around the seed of the Psyllium plant.

Benefits of the Psyllium Psyllium- All natural soluble Fiber Benefits that I experienced, it:  maintains healthy cholesterol levels  aids in weight loss control  maintains healthy blood pressure levels  treats (i.e., ease the pain of) hemorrhoids.  treats (i.e., ease the pain of) hemorrhoids.  According to my gastroenterologist, it’s main benefit, is in preventing constipation and promoting colon health. –The natural fiber in Psyllium increases the weight of our bowels, and acts as a safe laxative.

Benefits of the Psyllium Additional benefits that I am told:  it can help diarrhea (since it contains carbohydrates).  It can help ease the pain of cystitis.  In some studies, it has been shown that Psyllium Husk can improve lipid control in Type 2 diabetes. –Psyllium Husks have anti-inflammatory properties, and can be beneficial for those with diabetes.  It treats IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).  It treats yeast infections.

Why is Psyllium Husk effective for bowel problems?  It can absorb anything that is 8-16 times its weight. Its bulky fiber qualities makes it an effective laxative. –The husk swells when it comes in contact with water.  It helps to absorb toxins located in our bowels. –Psyllium Husk forms a gelatin-like mass in the colon, which also keeps the bowels nice and soft.

Psyllium – Excellent Dietary Fiber Supplement How much fiber should you consume each day?  One should consume grams of fiber per day as a step toward staying regular and preventing colon cancer. –While there is no RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance) for dietary fiber, experts at the NCI (National Cancer Institute) and ADA (American Dietetic Association) recommend eating grams of fiber per day as a step toward staying regular and preventing colon cancer.  Most Americans consume only grams of fiber per day. (See back up charts - fiber counts) –1 apple ~ 2.76 grams of fiber; 1 orange ~ 3.14 grams of fiber, 1 packet of healthy whole grain oatmeal ~ 4 g of soluble fiber & 2 g insoluble fiber  Thus, most people are grams short of the daily goal of grams of fiber.

Suggestions of taking Psyllium  Twice a day, stir about 1.25 Tablespoons into a 10 fl oz. glass of (lukewarm) water or juice. Consume immediately. This provides ~13 gram fiber daily.  It can be consumed anytime. My preferred times are twice daily before breakfast and dinner.  The cost of a can of the Psyllium (12 oz, i.e., 340 g, ~57 Tablespoons ) is about ~$5.95 at Trader Joe’s (titled “Secrets of the Psyllium).  Drink more water initially (to prevent constipation).

 Wish you Healthy and Happy, my friends!! 車子前
