Part of looking great is also feeling great and nourishing your body with the right kind of foods. Fiber is one of those vital ingredients our body needs.
Dietary fiber can be found in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Fiber cannot be fully digested by your body, but this doesn’t mean it is not important, since it helps clean your digestive system, provides vitamins and minerals and helps in the absorption of other nutrients.
There are two kinds of fiber, soluble and insoluble.
Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can be easily found in grains, fruits, and legumes.
Insoluble fiber can be found on flour, nuts, beans, potatoes, and other vegetables. This fiber promotes bowel movement, improving issues that deal with constipation.
Benefits of consuming fiber
Fiber is an important part of your diet since it helps with different processes in your digestive system:
– Keeps your bowel moving, which means that your stool is going to be soft and will lower the chances of constipation.
– Soluble fiber lowers cholesterol levels, diminishing inflammation and helping with blood pressure issues.
– Fiber helps with the absorption of sugar, improving its levels in your body.
– It also helps you with your weight-management, foods rich in fiber make you feel full faster and have fewer calories than other foods in the same amounts.
According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the recommended daily amount of fiber for women is 25 grams and, for men, it is 38 grams.
Keeping in mind your fiber intake may lead to an improvement in your gut health, as well as your weight management. That’s why the OGX FENIX shakes have prebiotic fiber to help with the gut and provide you with the nutrients you need to achieve good health.
