Only 5% of Americans eat enough fibre!

The statistic is shocking, but some still believe dietary fibre isn’t important. Fibre might not be an essential nutrient, but only in the strict scientific meaning; fibre intake is a crucial part of healthy eating habits.

“Adequate intake of dietary fiber is associated with digestive health and reduced risk for heart disease, stroke, hypertension, certain gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.” — Quagliani & Felt-Gunderson.

Fibre consumption aids the absorption of other nutrients while slowing glucose absorption; it’s linked with a lowered risk of cardiovascular disorders and a decreased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. It even helps you poop!

It almost sounds like fibre is a superfood! But don’t worry; it won’t cost you a pretty penny… you can find fibre in all plants, including whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables. Grab your veggies and enjoy!
