Why YSK: fiber is important for optimal human health. It helps us avoid diabetes, heart disease, colon cancer, obesity, and other diseases. This is particularly important in developed countries such as mine (USA) that are suffering greatly from these diseases.

The recommended daily fiber intake is 25g for women and 38g for men in the USA, and 95% of us don’t meet this amount. This suggests an urgent need for us to increase our daily fiber intake, which can be achieved by swapping out ultra-processed foods and animal foods that are void of fiber with whole plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.

    This is what I do. I get the giant jugs at Costco and put them in the cabinet where we keep all our coffee stuff. Every morning I scoop it into my coffee before making it and it’s so easy. You’d never even know it was in the drink as it dissolves completely once stirred.

    If you buy a supplement, definitely get the fine ground. I made the mistake of buying course ground and it’s like adding orange juice pulp to everything because it’s so chunky.

      Same! First cup of coffee every day is the powder cup, goes in with the splenda. :)
