How Do I Know If I Need More Fiber?
There are a number of things to keep in mind to determine if you need more fiber. First, you’ll want to see how many times a day you have your bowel movements. A normal bowel movement is a healthy one. Most people have anywhere from 3-5 bowel movements each day. A bowel movement is a normal way of relieving your body of toxins. The more frequently you have a bowel movement, the more you need to be careful with the amount of fiber you eat. Once you have a bowel movement every few days, you’re typically not getting enough fiber. So, it’s important to make sure you eat plenty of fiber-rich foods. While fruits and veggies are usually a great source of fiber, there are a few foods that also contain a lot of fiber. One of the best sources of fiber in the diet is beans. Bean-based products can include the seeds and shells, but it’s the beans themselves that are good for you. Beans such as lentils and garbanzo beans are a good source of fiber. You can also look for beans that are fortified with fiber. Eating a variety of healthy, whole foods is important. Not all healthy foods are low in fiber, so it’s important to make sure that you’re getting a variety of healthy foods in your diet. In addition to fiber, foods high in fiber will also help keep you feeling fuller longer. This can help you to avoid snacking
