Fiber

Earlier, I have showed you that how low-fat foods can tame the hormones that fuel the growth of common forms of cancer. As long as you cutting the fat from your diet, you will reduces the amount of estrogen and testosterone in the bloodstream.

You may wonder how we going eliminate extra (waste) hormones that already inside our bodies?
For your information, our body has the ability to rid waste hormones. It all depends on fiber.
Fiber has other important benefits, too, as I'll will discuss in this post.

Fiber is another word for plant roughage which the part of beans, grains,vegetables,and fruits that resists digestion. Fiber has the function to helps keep you regular by moving the intestinal contents along.

But it has another equally important role. It helps us rid ourselves of all manner of chemicals including hormones inside our bodies.

Let me explain in more detail regarding our bodies function on "waste disposal".
"Waste disposal” system starts in your liver, which continuously filters your blood. As blood passes through the liver’s network of tiny capillaries,liver cells remove toxins, cholesterol, medications, waste hormones,and whatever else that harmful to your body.

These undesirables are then sent from the liver into a small tube, called the bile duct, which leads to your intestinal tract. There, fiber soaks up these chemicals and carries them out with the wastes.

Now, there is plenty of fiber in vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains. So if your diets include a big part of those foods, your “waste disposal” system works pretty well. The liver pulls hormones out of the bloodstream, they slide down the bile duct, fiber picks them up, and out they go.

Can you imagine what will happens if your lunch consisted of a chicken breast and a cup of yogurt? These products don’t come from plants - means they have no fiber at all. So when your liver sends hormones or other chemicals into the intestinal tract, there is nothing for them to attach to. Finally, those waste hormones end up being re-absorbed back into your bloodstream, and guess what? the whole process starts over again.

This will become a endless cycle in which hormones passing from the bloodstream, through the liver, into the intestinal tract, and, unfortunately, back into the bloodstream, and doctors called this endless cycle as enterohepatic circulation. It keeps hormones circulating for longer than they should. Therefore, our bodies neeed fiber stops this cycle by carrying hormones out once and for all.


Summary :
The liver pulls hormones out of the bloodstream, they slide down the bile duct, fiber picks them up, and out they go.
