Are you getting enough fiber?

Fiber is an essential part of any healthy diet, yet 9 out of 10 people get less than half of what is recommended daily. It is recommended that women age 19-50 get 25 grams of fiber a day and 50+ to get 30 grams a day. But some adults can’t get the generally recommended 20 to 30 grams of fiber a day from their diet because they don’t like high-fiber foods, or because the foods may cause cramping or flatulence. A fiber supplement can help. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, “fiber appears to reduce the risk of developing various conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, diverticular disease, and constipation”.

Two types of fiber Insoluble vs. Soluble:

Insoluble fiber is like a sponge: it absorbs many times its weight in water, swelling up within the intestine. Insoluble fiber is found mainly in whole grains and on the outside of seeds, fruits, legumes, and other foods. It is best to eat unrefined foods since insoluble fiber is key in promoting more efficient elimination by increasing stool bulk and may alleviate some digestive disorders.

Soluble fiber is found in fruits, vegetables, seeds, brown rice, barley, oats, and oat bran. It can help produce a softer stool, but does less to help the passage of food; rather, it works chemically to prevent or reduce the absorption of certain substances into the bloodstream.
