Fiber is crucial for our digestive health! The government (and trained health professionals) recommends 25-35 g of fiber intake daily. Most Americans consume about 10-12 g per day. Are you getting enough?
Here are examples of common foods and the amount of fiber in a 100g serving (about 1/2 cup). While fruits and veggies are good sources of vitamins, minerals, and other necessary nutrients, their fiber content is lower than you might expect. Time to add more legumes, nuts, seeds and grains to your eating plan for higher fiber intake! Your digestive system will thank you.
