Later, it achieved independence from Spainas part of Colombia, then broke off to become its own nation before a mixture ofBritish, French, and American groups basically took over and opened up the nationto international businesses.

better skin, for each age, within a healthy and balanced diet, can help maintain

health and prevent some cardiovascular risk factors such as type II diabetes,

hypertension and obesity, according to the Dairy Guide in Cardiology.

Fruit-consuming goodness

problems, digestive disorders, some cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, in

constipation.

important because they regulate intestinal transit and because the vitamins, they

provide modulate many metabolic processes. All vegetables have a high

percentage of water, and stand out for their carbohydrate, minerals, and vitamins

content. However, they have very few proteins and fats. Until recently, and due to

the low caloric and protein intake of vegetables, these were considered as food

products of relative interest. After the discovery of vitamins, these foods have been

placed in an important place of man's nutrition.

Fiber is a fundamental nutrient for our body and especially for our digestive system,which is where it will perform the main functions. A correct contribution of fiber in

our diet, in addition to facilitating digestive transit, is going to have very beneficial
