Getting enough fiber in your diet is crucial for maintaining overall health and wellness. Dietary fiber, found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, offers a wide range of health benefits that can significantly improve both physical and mental well-being.

Digestive Health:

One of the most well-known benefits of fiber is its positive impact on digestive health. Fiber adds bulk to the stool, making it easier to pass and reducing the likelihood of constipation. It helps maintain regular bowel movements and can prevent conditions like hemorrhoids and diverticulitis. Additionally, fiber acts as a prebiotic, feeding the beneficial bacteria in the gut, which plays a critical role in digestion and overall gut health.

Weight Management:

Fiber-rich foods are often more filling than low-fiber options, which can help with weight management. High-fiber foods take longer to chew and digest, leading to a greater sense of fullness and reduced overall calorie intake. By promoting satiety, fiber can help control appetite and prevent overeating, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight.

Blood Sugar Control:

Consuming enough fiber, particularly soluble fiber, can help regulate blood sugar levels. Soluble fiber slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which can prevent spikes in blood sugar and improve overall glycemic control. This is especially beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition, as it can help manage blood glucose levels more effectively.

70% of internal medicine, cardiovascular, and GI doctors would be out of a job if people would simply eat better, be more active, drink more water, and simply be more aware of environmental issues and lifestyle choices.

It’s almost insane how many patients I’ve seen have their lives completely turned around, ailments disappear, and injuries heal all because of lifestyle changes like listed above. Of course, there are patients that have illnesses that can’t be remedied through this general advice, but essentially everyone can benefit from these lifestyle changes.

Once you give your body the tools it needs to function properly, you’d be surprised that it will actually start functioning properly

My GI doctor told me over and over to drink more water and increase my fiber. I told her i already get two times the recommendation of fiber, and if i drank any more water I'd drown. Never believes me. I think she's just lazy. She threw pills at me and diagnosed me on the first day i saw her with IBS, just based on what issues i have. I was like, "wait, so no testing??" Two of those pills made the symptoms worse. Pisses me off how these doctors are beinf so careless and lazy with diagnosis and treatments.

I’ve been doing this since I was 17 and it’s actually surprisingly easy, overnight oats with chia and berry for breakfast and wholewheat carbs/lentils/veggies are my go too with plenty of protein. Just a few adjustments to your diet and it’s surprisingly easy!

when i was really poor, i was waiting beans and rice on the daily in various forms, lots of frozen fruit smoothies (way cheaper than fresh), and lots of oatmeal. i lost like 30 lbs and i didnt go hungry doing it. fiber is king 👑

[sarenap]

Sitting here eating my overnight oats with chia seeds while watching this ☺️ but seriously, I have this twice a week, and I eat beans and berries too during other meals, and I’m losing about a pound or two a week. I’m not doing anything else. And I was struggling to lose weight after having a baby, it took me 13 months to start losing weight, and now two months later I’m down ten pounds!

Holy crap, when I was in Mexico eating all that delicious food and still losing weight, I realized I was eating over twice the fiber between beans, avocado, mangos, papaya, etc. pun intended with the holy crap....

I understand now why only 10% of US population hits the mark, you basically need to eat atleast half a kilo of really fiber rich food a day, thats like a real lot
Even with bran crisps which claims to contain 22g of fiber per 100g i still need to eat 150g of that dry sh daily
Sounds exhausting really

1. Lentils - literally taste like dirt. 0/10.
2. Berries - I’m obsessed with berries. You can absolutely convince me to eat more. 10/10
3. Quinoa - irritating texture. I prefer oatmeal and I hate oatmeal. 3/10
4. Avocado - i love avocado if only it didn’t go bad immediately after coming home from the store. But I can try to step this up. 8/10
5. Beans - My stomach becomes a methane factory with the wrong beans. Black is the worst followed by red beans. White beans and refried beans I can tolerate pretty well. Still have to be careful. 6/10.
6. Chia seeds - I know nothing about these. 5/10

Seaweed is probably my favorite fiber snack

[s.e]

Basically eat natural Whole Foods, cut out the processed junk, reduce carbs, intermittent fasting, remove seed oils and added sugars. You will see and feel the difference, especially dealing with inflammation and chronic diseases. I’ve come a long way unable to move and function. It’s not a miracle cure it’s an active lifestyle choice. There are things you can control. You can’t control illness you can control the progression and slow it down. Wish you all wellness and good health

"A form [of fibre] that is readily found in oats and barley, called beta-glucan, can control blood sugar and assist in weight loss among mice fed a high-fat diet.

Researchers at the University of Arizona (UA) and the University of Vienna say it is the only type of fiber supplement they tested that decreased a mouse's fat content and body weight within 18 weeks.

The other fibers considered, including wheat dextrin, pectin, resistant starch, and cellulose, had no such effect, despite shifting the makeup of the mouse microbiome significantly compared to mice fed no fiber supplements."

Thanks for not recommending whole grains. I can't eat most of them

[Redemberwolf]

I love how you say vitamins it sounds so nice ❤❤

[shortyylu]

Our produce has way less fiber than it used to 30 years ago… you have to eat way way more to get the same out of fiber like what they have done to our food is ruin it all because they wanted to be sweeter

[immimfromnailsworth]

Seaweed, mushrooms and root vegetables!

[Hhhh-w]

Basically almost every non-Western cuisine/dishes.

Fiber actually makes my intestinal health worse. Doctors and health people are always pushing people to “eat more fiber eat more fiber, ” but in reality some people’s bodies can’t handle that much fiber. I use to try and get my “daily fiber” and it made everything so much worse.

[drauglynn]

Why did chia seeds make me more constipated then?? tried it two separate times for a week straight each. first time soaked 1tbsp of them in water for about 15mins before consuming, the other time again 1 tbsp soaked them in water overnight before consuming them. I usually drink a half gallon of water a day as well.

[shmelvampire]

I am a very picky eater (possibly to the point of ARFID but I don't have a diagnosis) and haven't eaten many vegetables for years. I had no idea I was constipated until I got a hemorrhoids diagnosis💀
I was prescribed to eat more fiber and pushed myself to eat more veggies, fruit, beans and other high fiber stuff. I now crave vegetables lol
And I feel better overall

[i_like-planes]

Glad to know I eat most of what's mentioned on a regular basis 😅
