Here is a little tip that I feel many people overlook. Β Fiber is an important part of everyone’s diet and needs to be incorporated into your daily eating regimen. Β Of course, you may be at home thinking, ” why on earth do I need to have fiber everyday??” Well, I am glad you asked!!!!!
Fiber comes in two forms which are soluble insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is a type of fiber that dissolves in water to form a gel-like material. It can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. Β Insoluble fiber is a type of fiber that promotes the movement of material through your digestive system and helps prevent constipation. Β It does not dissolve in water.
Now both types of fiber are important and the health benefits may include:
- Lowering blood cholesterol.
- Lowering blood glucose levels or maintaining healthy blood glucose levels.
- Aiding with weight loss.
- Aiding the body in getting the toxins out of your system.
- Maintaining a healthy digestive track.
- Reducing risk of heart disease.
- Maintaining healthy skin.
- Increase in energy.
On average, a male needs to have approximately 35 grams of fiber a day and women need approximately 25 grams of fiber a day depending on you age. Check with your primary care physician on the amount of fiber you need in your diet.
The next question that many ask is where do I get all this fiber? Well, part of it is incorporating into your your diet and below is a list of veggies, fruits, grains, nuts and beans that have fiber in them.

In addition to eating healthy (for the most part…lol), I also take an amazing fiber drink that really works well. Β Now I hope that you found this little bit of information about fiber helpful. Like I mentioned, it is something everyone needs to incorporate into their daily diet if you want to have a healthy digestive track and have good health. Β π
