Fiber

Fiber is a very interesting nutrient in the average diet. Fiber has many different health benefits including aid in weight loss, weight management, regulation of or lowering blood sugar levels, and heart health.

The typical daily diet is supposed to include 20-30 grams of fiber, but, the average American doesn't consume even half of that. This could be one of the many reasons that the obesity percentage is so high in the United States.

A diet high in fiber is rather beneficial. There are two different types of fiber: soluble and insoluble.
Insoluble fiber helps to move waste through your digestive tract more quickly whereas soluble fiber helps to slow digestion and make you feel fuller longer. Many foods such as fruits and vegetables contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Making sure you get enough fiber on a daily basis will help increase your daily health and may make you feel ten times better than you already do! Click here to read 9 benefits of consuming fiber.
