Let's All Cheer on the Fiber Bus!

We all love fiber. Right? Right.  If you don't, hop on the fiber bus because it's some of the best stuff out there!

The average person needs 30 grams, yes, 30 grams of fiber every day.  If you're over 50, you need less.  Fifty and up, the average is 20-25 because older people tend to eat less.

So instead of going for the bag of chips when you're feeling hungry, grab a piece of whole grain bread and spread a little natural peanut butter or better yet, almond butter on it and enjoy the fiber.  Not only will you improve your digestive tract but you'll feel full longer and eat less later.

Cheers to good health!
