Fiber plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy digestive system, promoting regular bowel movements, and lowering the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes. But did you know that only 5% of Americans actually eat enough fiber? It’s recommended that women consume 25 grams of fiber daily and men consume 38 grams daily, according to the Institute of Medicine.
A survey conducted by MyFitnessPal found that 52% of respondents pay attention to their fiber intake throughout the day, and 45% are aware of the recommended daily fiber intake for adults. However, many people surveyed are unaware of how much fiber is actually in the food they eat.
