Fibrous food is highly recommended to keep your body lean and healthy. But excessive fiber consumption was also harmful to the body, even the risk caused trouble conceiving.
Benefits of eating high fiber are many and good for healthy diet, such as lowering the risk of heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer and breast cancer. The experts suggest, the average adult needs about 25 grams (women) to 30 grams (men) and about 20 grams for children.
But when people consume fiber to more than 45 grams per day, the fibers can actually be bad for the body. This is following five due mostly eating high fiber.
1. Constipation
Actually, when people eat fiber in sufficient quantities and appropriate, then the fiber will clean the dirt in the stomach and intestines can become softer. But if you eat more than your body needs fiber, fiber can actually make constipation (difficult bowel movements). This is because fiber absorbs water passing through the digestive system. So if people are too much consumption of fiber, water in the gut, too much is absorbed. The result can be a bowel obstruction.
2. Dehydration
For the same reason that fiber can absorb water, it is not surprising that people are eating too much fiber became dehydration (lack of body fluids). When eating fibrous foods, you should also consume plenty of water.
3. Flatulence
Flatulence is a byproduct gas emission combination digestive process in the body. Excess fiber can cause bloating due to bacteria in the gut to digest the fiber in excess, thus making the gas as a by-product.
4. Weight gain
People usually eat a lot of fiber in the hope of maintaining weight loss. But by eating excessive fiber can actually cause people to gain weight. This happens because a lot of fiber means to absorb a lot of water. So the amount of water needed may not be stored in the body, which is called water retention. The water was eventually arrested a make weight to rise.
5. Trouble conceiving
Research shows that consumption of too much fiber can reduce levels of estrogen and other reproductive hormones such as some progesterone, luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Higher fiber intake, particularly from fruit, was also associated with a higher risk of having anovulatory menstrual cycles, the ovaries fail to release an egg. These findings have been reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
