Today’s standard American diet is a major departure from traditional diets in terms of the fiber content. Recent nutrition reports in the U.S. show an average dietary fiber consumption of only 10 to 15 grams per day. Our standard diet based on refined foods can lead to a heap of digestive trouble – and more. What does it mean to your health? First, fiber can help maintain overall health throughout life. And the benefits go on from there, including better digestion, improved colon health, easier weight maintenance, more regularity and improved blood sugar regulation.
