Five signs that you are not taking enough fiber

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 five signs to watch out for.

Number one. Constipation. Fiber helps add bulk to your stool and supports regular bowel movements.

Number two. Hard stools. Low fiber intake may contribute to dry, hard stools that are difficult to pass.

Number three. Frequent hunger. Fiber rich foods help you feel fuller for longer. So, low fiber intake will lead to frequent hunger.

Number four. High cholesterol. Not getting enough soluble fiber may make it harder to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

Number five. 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.
