Balanced nutrition - Food is a necessity that is essential for life because of human foods to find sources of energy or strength to perform daily activities. Therefore it is necessary to note the type and quality of food in consumption, namely:
1. High fiber
2. Low fat
3. Contains balanced nutrition
What Is High Fiber Foods?
High-fiber foods are foods that contain fiber and originated from plants such as vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, and others.
Why We Need Fiber?
Fiber in foods is found in wheat grains, millet, and corn easy filling, so we feel has a lot of eating when we eat less of these foods.
In addition, the fibers were also found in fruits and vegetables that keeps the body regular bowel movement and can help reduce the risk of heart disease because it slows the absorption of fat and cholesterol than other foods.
Fiber consists of two types, both essential for health are:
1. Lots of soluble fiber contained in nuts, fruits, and whole grains, like wheat and rice. These fibers are called helper type found in the heart because it can help lower cholesterol levels. Referred to as soluble fibers dissolve in water and form a gel. In theory, because these fats dissolved, he formed a gel-like material that binds cholesterol and fat and prevent absorbed by the intestine, so that if the material is not absorbed, it will be removed along with dirt.
2. In contrast, insoluble fiber, found in vegetables, cereals, and wheat grains, does not form a gel. Its main benefit is to make us regularly defecating. Although less effective in avoiding the absorption of fat and cholesterol into the bloodstream, this fiber is useful for increasing the mass and speed of travel materials in the gut.
If we want to set a good diet or want to start a diet then we should apply a high-fiber diet by eating whole grains, wheat, and should be the foundation of the diet, serving between six to 11 servings each day:
1. A serving is one slice of bread servings (if you catch a calculated two servings of bread), a half cup of cooked rice or pasta. to get more fiber and nutrients better, choose a complete wheat or rice (which means that no arinya skin removed), rice squeeze a better job than a white, full grain bread instead of white wheat bread. Bulgur (red beans) and cereals are also good choices.
2. Vegetables should amount to three to five portions/servings per day, with the size of one serving equals one cup of fresh or half cup cooked vegetables. Vegetables should be eaten fresh or steamed, for if boiled tend to dissolve the vitamins and minerals. The more color (green, yellow, and orange) the more contained nutrients such as carrots, green lettuce, long beans.
3. Fruits should be eaten four days. Each time to eat half a bowl of sliced fruit, one glass of fruit juice or one medium-size apple. Eat a variety of fruit because it will enrich the variety of nutrients contained in fruits, like apples, oranges, guavas, pears, papaya and mango.
Twelve Benefits of Fiber
1. Help overcome Diabetes
2. Prevents constipation
3. Helps you lose weight
4. Assist the detoxification process
5. Making youth
6. Helps prevent colon cancer
7. Helps prevent breast cancer
8. Helps lower cholesterol
9. Beautify the skin, hair and nails
10. Help overcome anemia
11. Prevent appendicitis
12. Assisting the development of good bacteria in the gut.

Then we moved on to Cheap, Healthy Asparagus: 81 Recipes for the Springiest of Spring Vegetables.
And ended up at … oh, wait: Couponing for People Who Hate Couponing: A Zero-Stress Guide to Clipping Big Bargains isn’t a list. We’ll mention it anyway.

Jaime asked: Why Eat Local? Then she answered her own question! Girl knows her stuff.
As for Ask the Internet, we wondered about all sorts of things. Like, f’r instance:

Top Ten Links of the Week: 4/23/10 – 4/29/10
Happy Friday, folks! Quick update on Tuesday’s Ask the Internet question: the broth and new ratio totally worked with the polenta, and the addition of pancetta provided some much-needed depth and textural variation. Howevs, the spinach still needs work. I sautéed it much faster this time, using the oil left over from the meat, but the aftertaste remained. I’m thinking a switch to either kale, chard, or baby spinach is in order. Almost there, though! Look for the final version on Monday.
Meanwhile, BEHOLD! Here’re the links.
1) Oregon Live: Meet some of Portland's radical homemakers
A fantastic piece. Just stellar, and I love the reconceptualizing of domesticity as, “living by four tenets: ecological sustainability, social justice, family and community.” It’s extreme and ideal at the same time. An absolute must-read, though I do wish it brought a few guys into the picture.
2) The Local Cook: Top 10 Things to Do Before CSA Season
Just signed up for your first CSA? Don’t know how you’re going to handle it? No worries, sweet kale lover. This resourceful rundown will steer you in the right direction.
3) Serious Eats: Why Ben & Jerry’s Relationship with Wal-Mart is Actually Good for the Future of Food
Sometimes, the little guy can best change the big guy by working from the inside. If there’s ice cream involved, all the better.
4) The Atlantic Food: Message to Food Editors - What 30-Minute Meals Really Mean
In which Michael Ruhlman makes a decent point – learn to prioritize food – and obscures it in a cloud of unpleasantness. Dude, you want people to listen to your message? Try not to insult them in the process. Enh. Debbie says it better than me
5) Jezebel: Spoon Fed – When Food is About Love, Not Disorder
I like this whole piece on learning to reconcile personal food issues with eating’s social nature, but this statement struck me most: “I find that when we cook together we encourage each other to enjoy food for what it is — a source of nourishment and even excitement, not an enemy.”
6) Slashfood: Cook’s Illustrated vs. food52
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s get ready to RUMBLE. In this corner, Cook’s Illustrated, the venerated trial-and-error foodie mag headed up by bowtied culinary lovegod, Christopher Kimball. And in the opposite corner, food52, the new-ish website with the many-people-one-recipe mentality. Who will win next week’s cooking throwdown? Only your hairdresser knows for sure. (Pic from Village Voice.)
7) Chicago Tribune: The 50 Worst Restaurants in the World
In response to San Pellegrino’s recent naming of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants, folks at CT came up with this creative list. My favorites:
24. Haggis Hut
21. Actual Panda Express
20. Fraulein Sauerkraut’s Thwap and Serve
9. Le Jirque
3. Friday’s based on the novel Push by Sapphire
8) Wise Bread: 10 Ways to Cut Waste When Feeding Kids
These smart tips might seem pretty intuitive to experienced parents, but I’m babysitting a lot more now, so they’re spectacularly well timed. I have no idea what I’m doing, see. (Just kidding, Mary! Ha?)
9) A Good American Wife: Nutritional Values
Speaking about feeding kids, Anne has some valuable insight.
10) Serious Eats: How to Toast Spices
Toasting spices is an inexpensive, easy way to bring out their flavor. Also, “mellow, toasty complexity” is my new favorite phrase. You know what I like about 30 Rock? It’s mellow, toasty complexity. And nuclear physics? It’s mellow, toasty complexity. And socks? Guess.
