Most Americans do not get the recommended amount of fiber per day. You can get more fiber in your diet by eating more fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains! Not only does fiber make you feel fuller, it also has some great health benefits!

  • Normalizes bowel movements. 
  • Helps maintain bowel integrity and health. 
  • Lowers blood cholesterol levels. 
  • Helps control blood sugar levels. 
  • Aids in weight loss.
The recommended daily intake for females under the age of 50 is 25 grams per day and 30 for men. If you’re over 50, females should be getting 21 grams and men 30 grams.
