Yes, These Two Tips Will Help You Increase Fiber Intake With Ease!

Are you getting enough fiber in your diet? Do you know how much fiber you consume each day?

Americans are having a difficult time in getting their daily requirements of fiber. People are always having processed foods that are stripped of fiber.

Some of the heath risk of having not enough fiber is high cholesterol, constipation, weight gain and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
and can even lead to cancer of the colon.

When I watch some of the TV commercials, many sell fiber supplements you can mix in water or juice however there's
an easy way to get it through your foods without taking those fiber supplements.

Adults are recommended to have 25 to 30 g of fiber each day and generally children under the age of 18 need a little less.

To determine your child’s needs, I like to use the age plus 5 rule.

Meaning if you are five years old then you need about 10 grams of fiber .
If you are ten, you're looking at about 15 grams per day.

One of the most easiest ways to incorporate fiber is to eat more BEANS:)

Per half cup of serving cooked, beans and legumes are a healthy choice that contain about 6 or 7 grams!

You can add it to your soups, chili and my favorite, to salads.

Eat it in substitute of your meat in your dish if you're a vegetarian.

It's a healthy combination of fat, protein and especially, fiber, to keep you fuller, longer.

So, it's simple. Go out and get your 25 to 30 grams of fiber each day, if your under 18, add 5 plus your age to get your fiber number and start boosting those beans!

To your success!
