Its a universal truth, and its largely thanks to fiberthe most widely unappreciated dietary hero.
But fibers benefits extend beyond ensuring your toilets get frequent use.
Here are some of fibers benefits, and how to know if youre getting enough of it.
So what exactly is fiber?
Insoluble fibercannot truly be digested and contains no calories.
(I can only imagine these debates are ferocious.)
And it gets more complex than that.
Improving blood sugar regulation.
Reducing the bodys absorption of other calories (which can be beneficial in a weight loss context.)
This is roughly 20-30 grams per day for an average days diet of 2000-3000 calories per day.
One last caveat: too much of a good thing is…not so good.
Dont try increase your fiber intake too fast (too furious?
), unless youre planning to spend a lot of time in the bathroom.
