Psyllium Seed Husk

Psyllium seed husk is a really neat little addition to your diet.  It is derived from the seed of a plant grown in many areas but predominantly India.  The main benefit of the seed's husk is as a soluble fibre.

Psyllium seed husk is one of the main ingredients in Metamucil but I bought a bag of it at the local bulk food store.  In appearance, it is light and flaky.  It is tasteless but feels pulpy when you drink it.

To use psyllium seed husk - drop a heaping tablespoon of it into a drinking glass and pour in cold water.  You have to stir a lot.

I've heard that some people let it sit for a while.  I tried that method and found that it just went "gooey" and was more unpalatable to drink. 

So, stir it up really well and then start to gulp it down.  There always seems to be a bit left in the glass but I figure that I ingested enough.  I drink a glass of this stuff every couple of days.

Fibre is a key part of a healthy nutrition and helps maintain your digestive system in top order.  From a fitness perspective, this means that you may be better able to absorb proteins and nutrients. Soluble fibre soaks up toxins and sludge as it passes through your body.
