The industry calls it fiber
today, but let’s call it what our mamas called it—roughage, broom food that
sweeps through and cleans out the intestines and colons. The health of your
body’s elimination system is totally dependent on a diet with lots of roughage.
And a colon impacted with years’ worth of toxins may account for a whole host
of cancers and other diseases. Vegetables, of course, are great. Just don’t
overcook them. Steaming and stir-frying is best. Oatmeal with a dash of salt,
fresh raspberries or strawberries, and brown sugar first thing in the morning
will have you feeling good and cleaned out by the end of the day. Beans are
also good; just soak and cook them well to eliminate gas. Beans, veggies, and
oats are also naturally low in fat and high in nutrients. A diet rich in
roughage eliminates the need for laxatives.
It’s a dirty business, but somebody’s got to do it!
