DID YOU KNOW?
“Fiber helps to fight certain types of cancer. For hormonal cancers such as breast and prostate cancer, eating a high-fiber diet is beneficial because fiber can remove excess hormones from the body, just as it removes cholesterol.” - from The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
The average American only gets 10-15 grams of fiber per day… which is less than half of the recommended daily allowance! The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine recommends 40g per day for healthy individuals.
A meta-analysis found each additional 7 grams of fiber reduced the risk of heart disease by 9%! Umm translate, please! What is 7g in real life? 7g of fiber is equivalent to a little more than a cup of steamed broccoli. And a pear has about 6g of fiber!
Fiber is only found in plant foods! With Animal products having zero fiber, consuming nutrient-rich plant-based food is the best way to ensure your gut has all of the healthy bacteria it needs!
