5 Signs You May Not Be Eating Enough Fiber
Did you know that your body may give you clues
that you're not eating enough fiber?
Here are 5 signs to watch out for.
1. Constipation
Fiber helps add bulk to your stool
and supports regular bowel movements.
2. Hard Stools
Low fiber intake may contribute to dry,
hard stools that are difficult to pass.
3. Frequent Hunger
Fiber-rich foods help you feel fuller for longer.
So, low fiber intake will lead to frequent hunger.
Number 4. High Cholesterol
Not getting enough soluble fiber may make it harder
to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
Number 5. Poor Blood Sugar Control
Soluble fiber can slow the absorption of carbohydrates
and help manage blood glucose levels.
To increase your fiber intake, eat more vegetables,
fruits, whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts and seeds.
