Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease
 <p>Eating just 25 grams of Fiber daily can significantly lower the risk of heart attacks and heart disease. A High-Fiber diet works against heart disease in several ways.</p>

	<p>Soluble Fiber directly lowers blood cholesterol by binding to harmful (<span class="caps">LDL</span>) cholesterol in the small intestine and carrying it out of the body. Meanwhile, good (<span class="caps">HDL</span>) cholesterol levels remain unaffected. As part of a low fat, low cholesterol diet, soluble Fiber can lower harmful blood cholesterol between <br />
0.5 % and 2 % for every gram of soluble Fiber eaten per day.</p>

	<p>High-Fiber diets are healthy and low in fat because Fiber fills you up and makes you less likely to overeat. Eating High-Fiber foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grain products leaves less room for high fat, high cholesterol food choices.</p>

	<p>Cholesterol fighting soluble Fiber is found in whole grains, such as whole oats and barley and wheat bran, legumes and fruits. Eating more soluble Fiber every day, along with watching your diet, is a dependable way to help lower your cholesterol.</p>
