How does it affect your digestive system?

Dietary fiber may act on each phase of ingestion, digestion, absorption and elimination to affect cholesterol metabolism, such as the following:

1. Caloric energy of foods through a bulking effect
2. Slowing of gastric emptying time
3. A glycemic index type of action on absorption
4. A slowing of bile acid absorption in the ileum so bile acids escape through to the cecum
5. Altered or increased bile acid metabolism in the cecum
6. Indirectly by absorbed short-chain fatty acids, especially propionic acid, resulting from fiber fermentation affecting the cholesterol metabolism in the liver.Binding of bile acids to fiber or bacteria in the cecum with an increased fecal loss from the entero-hepatic circulation.

Preparation:

Wash fruit with water and vinegar solution (approx 1/2 c vinegar to 3 c water in a spray bottle) to remove any germs that may be present from production, customer handling, and possible pesticides.Cutting into any unwashed fruit spreads bacteria by the knife slicing through it. I use this on all my fruit and veggies, especially lemons and limes and apples. Cut the avocado in half. Remove seed with a spoon. Rinse and dry (preferably 2 hrs) so it is not slippery allowing to be easier to handle when grating. You may also use the entire seed if preferred throwing it in the blender whole. I add it straight into the blender along with smoothie ingredients and blends great.
Make a smoothie of your choice. add to Tea or Salads, or any dish. Here is my favorite antioxidant smoothie recipe.
