FIBER, is essential for creating optimal health!

The emphasis should be on consuming enough fiber regularly. Less than 10% of Americans consume enough fiber on a daily basis.

Fiber, is only found in plants, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, beans and legumes, and whole grains. Animal products, such as meat, cheese, milk, and eggs, do not contain fiber. Nearly 40% of Americans consume fast food on a daily basis, which contains little to no fiber.

A low fiber diet, contributes to constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, heart disease, and even some cancers.

Try to incorporate more whole, unprocessed foods, in to your diet. Make wise dietary choices to protect your health, so you have the best chance of thriving, even into your older age. It's been estimated that about 95% of illness and disease, can be prevented through diet, regular exercise, and a healthy lifestyle. We have more control over our health destiny, then we are told.
