Are you getting enough fiber in your diet?

Posted June 6, 2014 by PTI Admin

Fiber is a key component to normal digestion, normal bowel movements, and maintaining a healthy weight. Unfortunately, most Americans don’t consume enough. Men need about 38 grams a day and women need about 25 grams. Fiber can be found in whole grains, fruits, nuts, beans, and carrots. It helps you feel full longer without adding too many calories, and therefore is great when trying to lose or maintain weight!
