Itβs reached a crisis point.
Toxins running wild in our guts. Nausea. Diarrhea. Bloating. Brain fog. Weight gain.
We must be talking about some horrendous virus, right?
Wrong.
People just arenβt getting enough fiber in their diet.Β
Only 5% of Americans hit the recommended daily target of fiber in their diet (as set out by the Institute of Medicine)

5%.

Think of you and your family. Thereβs a good chance that only a couple of you are getting the fiber you need to stay healthy, if any.
Itβs an epidemic.Β
An epidemic thatβs destroying peopleβs health, starting with the gut.
But itβs one that can be easily overcome. No need for medication or strict diets.Β
Weβre passionate about reversing this trend at Start with Fiber.Thatβs why weβre giving you 7 powerful reasons to start getting the right amount of fiber in your diet.
Fiber makes your gut microbiome much happier. The gut microbiome is just a fancy way of saying βthe good bacteria in your gutβ.Β
Fiber doesnβt get fully broken down and digested in your stomach. Instead it passes to the lower gut and colon, where it acts as nutritious food for βgoodβ bacteria.Β
In other words, it helps your gut to heal by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. These bacteria help with digestion, reduce inflammation, and improve overall gut health. A well-fed microbiome keeps harmful bacteria in check, preventing problems like bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
If fiber was a pharmaceutical, doctors would be prescribing it left, right, and center! But because it occurs naturally in so many plant-based foods, it often goes unnoticed.Β
Fiber is often called a "super-nutrient" and it's easy to see why.
Itβs like a fuel for your entire digestive system, keeping things in motion. It reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease. Itβs no wonder people call fiber a βsuperfoodβ.
Turns out, fiber does more than help digestion. It actually protects you from a bunch of health issues. Eating enough fiber may lower your risk of heart attacks, obesity, high cholesterol, strokes, and even colorectal cancer.
Plus, fiber slows down how quickly your body processes sugar, which can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It's pretty impressive how something as simple as fiber can make such a big difference to your overall health.
If you suffer from constipation (or the opposite end of the scale with diarrhea), then fiber can help. All the different types of fiber, including soluble, insoluble, and viscous, help to regulate your bowel movements.Β
Thatβs because fiber absorbs water and adds bulk to your stool, making it easier to pass. At the same time, it slows down digestion just enough to prevent diarrhea. This balancing act helps keep your system regular, which means fewer unpleasant trips to the bathroom.
Fiber isnβt just great for your gut, it also keeps your blood pressure in check.Β
Studies show that people who eat more fiber tend to have lower blood pressure levels. Fiber reduces inflammation and improves the blood vessel function. This improves blood flow and creates short-chain fatty acids that reduce blood pressure.
Fiber-rich diets typically contain less processed foods and high-sodium meals, both of which contribute to high blood pressure.
High-fiber foods fill you up, so you end up eating fewer calories. Fiber also slows down digestion, so you feel full for longer β no more raiding the fridge an hour after dinner!
Fiber also regulates your blood sugar levels. When your blood sugar spikes and crashes, you get the kind of intense cravings and energy slumps that get you reaching for unhealthy snacks.
Fiber, especially soluble fiber, binds to cholesterol particles and helps carry them out of your body before they can be absorbed into your bloodstream.
When soluble fiber dissolves in water, it forms a gel-like substance. This gel traps some of the cholesterol and bile acids in your gut. Since bile acids are made from cholesterol, your body needs to use up more cholesterol to produce additional bile acids. This effectively lowers the levels of LDL ("bad" cholesterol) in your blood.
Reducing LDL cholesterol means less chance of clogging up your arteries, cutting the risk of heart disease. So, by adding more fiber to your diet, you're not just helping your gut, youβre also taking care of your heart.
