At the Minds of Wealth we focus on all areas of Wealth, including Physical Wealth. This is a short summary of what I went through when someone said “Got Fiber?”

First off.. what the hell is Dietary Fiber? Ok.. Fiber.. Metamucil.. Grandma’s and Grandpas.. bland.. boring. These were the first things that popped into my mind.

However according to a small site known as Wikipedia: it is the indigestible portion of plant foods that move food through the digestive system absorbing water and making defecation easier.

So in plain English: It makes you poop better. There is a whole lot more than just this, however this is the first thing you may notice.

Just don’t go diving into piles of Fiber though, or you may end up living in the bathroom for awhile. Studies have shown that most people in the U.S. do not get the recommended amount of fiber in their diet.

For most the correct amount is: 20-35 grams per day. I decided to study my own diet and check out the nutritional labels on the foods I consumed most. Uh oh.. almost NO fiber. Whoops.

The more I looked into it the more I found that I needed to get some Fiber.

There is a great article here: Fiber 101

The benefits included:

Reduced risk for heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer. These are things that aren’t in my mind at 26, but will be at 56. The best way to build Physical Wealth for the future is begin today.

In changing my bad eating habits I am starting to mix in: Peanuts, Carrots, Eggs, Super Whole grain bread, and apples. Green leafy vegetables are also on the horizon including broccoli and spinach.

If your natural eating habits need a little “American” help, then my suggestion is supplements. There are many Fiber supplements that will help you get your Fiber.

*If your body is used to consuming little to no fiber do NOT overload it!   This will cause cramping, bloating, and other bathroom issues.  So please ramp up slowly and you will have NO problems. *

How will you do it? Make a commitment!

Good luck and stay tuned for more healthy eating tips.

In the massive cluster of the virtual blog world, you can find many sites with many visitors.  We hope that our site will eventually reach this status.  In the meantime we have assembled an in person group based on the Master Mind philosophy in the Power of Focus.

This small set of individuals meeting about once every two weeks is the only one of its kind that we are aware of in our area.  There are many so called “Leads groups” which seem to be more focused on bureaucracy and telling the same people about their same business than actually trying to improve business. 

Our goals are to use each other to stay focused on our individual goals, get feedback and opinions about how to better our businesses, and to use our collective thoughts to create something exponentially more powerful than any of us could do alone. 

We currently have a lawn care company, an eBay store, a contractor/real estate expert of all trades/ and a media creative computer genius.  Each of us from very different backgrounds, in different boats but in the same small pond.  

I encourage anyone reading this blog to put together their own group.   We initially were going to put an ad in the paper looking for a “Super Mentor Business Extraordinaire”. Due to some procrastination and missing newspaper deadlines we didn’t make that happen.  We were fortunate enough that Matt made some phone calls and put together the group as it stands now.

Stay tuned to the blog for updates about the future we hold in our hands.
