Did you know? 95% of people don’t get enough fiber in their diet. The average American consumes only about 16 grams of fiber daily, which is significantly less than the recommended 25–38 grams.
Why Fiber Matters:
- Supports Healthy Digestion: Keeps things moving and promotes gut health.
- Balances Blood Sugar: Helps prevent sugar spikes and crashes.
- Aids in Weight Management: Keeps you feeling full longer.
- Reduces Colon Cancer Risk: Supports overall colon health.
Incorporating more whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes into your diet can help you reach your daily fiber goals.
