Do YOU get enough fiber in your diet?

Guru Age: 40

The American Heart Association Eating Plan suggests eating a variety of food fiber sources. Total dietary fiber intake should be 25 to 30 grams a day from food, not supplements. Currently, dietary fiber intakes among adults in the United States average about 15 grams a day. That's about half the recommended amount.

How do I increase my fiber intake?

Grains and Cereals

Fun fact: dietary fiber is mostly just cellulose, which is a plant fiber humans (and most animals) can’t actually digest so our bodies just push it out. That’s why it helps you poop.

I definitely have more fiber in my diet since I started eating yogurt mixed with blueberry jam and chia seeds more regularly. A healthy and refreshing dessert that also tastes great!
