52 weeks of bodily bliss... week 18: fiber is fab

Eating sufficient fiber is very important. Diverticulitis, cholesterol problems, diabetes, heart disease, are just some of the ailments that can develop when fiber lacks in one's diet
How do we get this wonder-factor? Some great sources of fiber are:

• oats
• whole grain breads and pastas
•  fruits
• veggies
• legume (they are also loaded with protein)
• metamucil supplement is also a great addition as supplement

Aim for 5-10 g fiber per meal to reach your daily intake of 25 g for women and 30 g for men.
Just  a few examples:
Breakfast: .5 cup oatmeal with .5 cup blackberries
Snack: 1 apple with 8-10 almonds
Lunch:  lean meat with 2 cup green veggies and a salad
Snack: 3 dried figs
Dinner: lean meat with brown rice and 1 cup fresh spinach
Snack: carrots and celery with organic humus to dip


Try these guidelines and use your common sense.
Have an amazing week!!!!!
