New evidence has come out that further solidifies the fact that eating a high fiber diet will help prevent colon caner. The Polyp Prevention Trial further gives us another reason to be 100% positive that having a high fiber diet helps prevent colon polyps from forming.

This new research conducted on 1905 participants from at least 35 years of age who had at least one colorectal polyp confirmed, has shown that diet rich in fiber, low in fat and whom had a high intake of fruits and vegetables (3.5 servings each 1000 kcal) is favorable for the prevention of colon cancer. This could reduce by 35% the likelihood of recurrence of polyps, further diminishing up to 50% likelihood of recurrence of advanced polyps.

With this new research, we can reassure again that a diet rich in fiber, low fat and high in fruit and vegetables is beneficial to health because it allows a better gastrointestinal function that helps us keep our intestines healthy, which in turn also allows us to have good digestion and nutrient absorption.

I stumbled across this video while looking for natural detox methods for the body. Detoxification as explained by Rhadia Gleis (Ph.D., M.Ed., and C.C.N.) is an often overlooked process that is life and career changing. Rhadia started her career off working for Disney as a graphic designer until she came across health problems such as heart palpitations, headaches and weight problems in her early 20’s.

When she found out that her doctor would load her up with meds and expect to “cover up” the symptom and not eliminate the root cause, Rhadia decided to seek alternative health practices. She later went on to consult an allopathic doctor that pretty much changed the course of her life and career.

She has now become a successful clinical nutritionist after going back to college and became labeled as the “Detox Queen” from college, for her work done on detoxification.

Check out the video below and see for yourself.
