We all know that most Americans don't get enough fiber in their diets. Women should consume around 25 grams of fiber daily, and men should consume around 35 grams. If you want to increase your fiber intake, here are a few easy tips:
- Start gradually – loading up on fiber when your body isn't used to it may cause bloating and discomfort
- Natural fiber sources are better than supplements – try to eat fresh fruit, vegetables, and grains
- Flaxseed can be added to cottage cheese, oatmeal, or yogurt to give a fiber boost while adding a pleasant nutty flavor – it's also a great source of omega-3
Eating the right amount of fiber will help you stick to a healthy diet by making you feel full. It's also great for the digestion. So give it a shot today and start enjoying all the benefits of a fiber-rich diet!
