Insoluble fiber: does not absorb water; maintains a stable pH in the intestines that prevents the “bad” bacteria from growing in your colon; removes dangerous toxins from your colon constantly.

Foods include: beans, nuts and seeds, all fruits and vegetable with skin intact, leafy greens, whole grains.
