High Fiber The #1 Diet
I?m sure you?ve heard everyone saying it - the best way to live your life is through a high-fiber diet. Health expert after health expert is telling us this. Even the American Dietetic Association, the Surgeon General, and the National Cancer Institute are pushing the importance of making sure you eat enough fiber. Their recommendation is that every adult should consume at least 20-35 grams of fiber a day (for children the recommendation is ?age plus five? meaning their age plus five in fiber grams per day).
You Need Food High in Fiber for Constipation Relief
Food high in fiber is found in fruits, vegetables and grains. It is the complex fiber structure that gives produce and grains their shape and keeps them from falling apart. Fiber is a subclass of carbohydrates. It consists mostly of cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose and pectin.

Boost Digestion With Bifidus Longum And Acidophilus Probiotics
Prior to discussing how you can boost digestion with bifidus longum probiotics, let's first have a look at probiotics in general and why they are so beneficial to us
Probiotics are also known as microflora, and are beneficial organisms that live in your digestive tract
What Are Optical Fiber Amplifiers And How Do They Work?
:: Why do we need optical fiber amplifiers
Basically what the optical fiber amplifiers solve is the traditional distance problem as in any long distance telecommunication system such as a trans-Atlantic link
Enzymes And Probiotics Are Keys To Health And Digestion
The gastrointestinal system, a complex network of organs and glands which extracts nutrients and water from the food that we eat so that they can be used by the body, processes the food in six phases. First, it mentally prepares the stomach for the meal that we are about to eat. Then, it takes food into the body, followed by moving that food through the GI tract. Next, it breaks down the food with both mechanical and chemical processes and then absorbs the digestive food into the vascular and lymphatic systems for distribution to the cells. Finally, the indigestible substances and waste products are eliminated from the body. Digestion itself is divided into two categories, those being mechanical and chemical. Mechanical digestion is t...

Wood Fiber Shortage Reduces Pulp Production in Indonesia in 4Q
(PRWEB) April 5, 2008 -- According to the Wood Resource Quarterly, pulpwood costs in Indonesia reached a record high in the 4Q/07 due to police clampdown on illegal logging, which limited the availability of wood fiber.
The pulpmills in Indonesia are struggling to supply their mills with wood fiber because the Indonesian police have been clamping down on illegal logging during 2007. President Susilo recently declared that illegal loggers and their financial backers were the "common enemy," and should be brought to justice.
As a result of the tight wood fiber supply, pulpwood prices have gone up at least 25% from a year ago, averaging over $60/odmt in the 4Q/07, according to the Wood Resource Quarterly. However, pulpwood costs vary substantially depending on the location of the pulpmill.
With the reduced availability of tropical hardwood, the major pulp companies, APP and APRIL, which together account for 65% of the country's production, have been forced to prematurely cut trees from their own plantations. This temporary solution can only continue until the end of the 1Q/08, according to the chairman of the Indonesian Pulp and Paper Association. Thereafter, a number of pulpmills will be forced to cut back production substantially.
The association has claimed that the pulp production in 2008 may be down by to only 1.7 million tons, a 75%(!) decrease. However, it is not likely that the production will actually fall that much. The announcement from the association should be seen as a way of drawing attention to the wood supply problem and hopefully making the politicians take action to resolve the dispute between corrupt local government officials, industry leaders, environmental organisations, local citizens and the country's president, who is trying to make a political statement.
The pulp industry in Indonesia has expanded substantially the past ten years, with production increasing every year until 2006 when it reached a peak at 5.6 million tons. In 2007, production fell by 10% to 5.2 million tons (80% of capacity) as the largest pulpmills had difficulty supplying their manufacturing facilities with wood fiber.
The next few years appear very uncertain for this industry. Pulping capacity will increase as the major companies, APP and APRIL, are both planning debottlenecking investments that may increase capacity by almost one million tons over the next two years. In addition, United Fiber Systems is planning a 600,000 tpy capacity greenfield mill in Kalimantan with a preliminary start-up of 2009. The wood fiber sourcing for the expanding industry is problematic and, at least in the short-term, it can be expected that the major pulpmills will run at reduced operating rates.
Global pulpwood and sawlog market updates are included in the 50-page publication Wood Resource Quarterly. The report, established in 1988, also include regular updates of pulp, lumber and biomass markets and has readers in over 20 countries.
