3 Reasons Why You Need More Fiber In Your DietIf you're like most Americans, you're probably not getting enough fiber in your diet. Dietary fiber is an essential nutrient that supports healthy intestinal regularity, but many of us get considerably less than the recommended amount. Fortunately, there are ways to increase your fiber intake. One simple solution is NOW® Fiber-3™, an organic blend of Golden Flax Meal, Acacia, and Inulin (FOS) that can help you reach your daily fiber goals. Here are three reasons why you need more fiber in your diet. 1. Fiber Helps Maintain a Healthy Digestive System The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients. Fiber plays an important role in this process by helping to move food through the digestive tract and promoting regularity. Furthermore, fiber has been shown to reduce the risk of constipation, diarrhea, and other digestive disorders. 2. Fiber May Reduce the Risk of Heart Disease Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, but dietary fiber has been shown to reduce the risk factors associated with this condition. Fiber helps lower cholesterol levels and keep them within a healthy range. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels, which is important for preventing diabetes—another major risk factor for heart disease. 3. Fiber Can Help You Lose Weight and Keep It Off If you're trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, dietary fiber can help. Foods that are high in fiber tend to be filling without being high in calories, so they can help you control your weight over time. Additionally, fiber slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which helps prevent spikes in blood sugar levels that can lead to insulin resistance and weight gain. In Summary: Dietary fiber is an important nutrient that offers many health benefits. If you're not getting enough from your diet, NOW® Fiber-3™ is a simple way to increase your intake. This organic blend of Golden Flax Meal, Acacia, and Inulin (FOS) can help support a healthy digestive system, may reduce the risk of heart disease, and can help you lose weight and keep it off. Adding more dietary fiber to your diet is a simple step you can take towards improving your overall health! Suggested Usage: Mix 2 1/2 tablespoons into at least 12 oz. of water or juice, and blend.
