How Do They Affect Our Health?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Fibrous foods are very important for your nutrition and health. Unlike most other foods, they leave your stomach undigested and reach your intestines. In your gut, it nourishes the intestinal flora<\/a> , helps bacteria, and plays a role in many different beneficial and healthy functions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some fibrous foods also support weight loss, lower your blood sugar levels and are great helpers in the fight against constipation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nutritional authorities recommend consuming an average of 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories you consume daily. This amount corresponds to an average of 24 grams of fiber per day for women and 38 grams for men.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, according to research by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, an estimated 95% of American adults and children do not meet the recommended daily fiber intake. The average daily fiber intake in the United States is estimated to be 16.2 grams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Increasing your fiber intake is relatively easy – just include high-fiber foods in your diet and you’ll quickly see the benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n
