Heart Health4 Benefits of a High Fiber Diet
Current recommendations are to consume 25-35 grams of dietary fiber everyday. Here are 4 benefits you’ll receive from achieving the recommended intake.
- Lower cholesterol and stabilized blood sugar/insulin levels.
- Regularity to prevent constipation and diverticulosis (small out-pouchings from the large intestine).
- Reduced risk of colon cancer.
- Increased satiety – you’ll feel full when eating less calories and fat to promote weight loss.
Some of the best fiber sources include fruits and vegetables!
Tired of changes that don't last?
All the best,

Where I send people for supplements
Food first, always. When a supplement is worth considering, the front of the bottle is marketing and the supplement facts panel is the actual content. Two bottles at the same price can differ by half in what they deliver.
My dispensary carries practitioner-grade products, most of which aren’t sold direct to consumers, with the reasoning behind each one.
I may earn a commission on dispensary orders.
