Are you getting enough fiber? Dietary fiber is often overlooked when it comes to watching our nutrition/diet. Having a diet rich in fiber has many benefits:
* Helps normalize bowel movements - keeping your system nice and regular
* Lowers risk of developing diverticular disease or developing hemorrhoids
* Lowers cholesterol levels
* Helps regular blood sugars
* Helps with maintaining a healthy body weight
For men, 30-38 grams of fiber per day is what is recommended. For women, 21-25 grams per day.
Use your food log to see how your fiber intake adds up!
