Fiber is one of the most beneficial and crucial nutrients for the body. Amongst the top benefits are;

- It helps the digestive tract to clear out waste from your system.
- It slows the speed at which sugar gets into your bloodstream and stabilize your blood sugar levels, which can be a concern for diabetics.
- It has been proven that fiber may reduce the risks of different types of cancer and heart diseases.
- Fiber gives a feeling of satisfaction and "fullness" which can help in times of sugar rush and snacking.

Where can you find a high source of fiber? Pears. A medium sized pear contains 4 grams of fiber which accounts for 18% of the recommended daily intake.

So next time you feel like eating a snack, pick up a pear instead of a chocolate bar. You will notice the weight loss effects in just a few short weeks.
