 Product of the month is Fiber


Fiber plays a significant role in digestive health. Fibers are typically plants, fruits, vegetables, dried beans, legumes, lentils, nuts, and seeds.

As a culture, we consume far less fiber than other cultures. Fiber is linked to major digestive and health issues. Recent studies show a high-fiber diet decrease major illness and diseases. Fiber helps you POOP! Fiber helps feed your healthy bacteria; the biproduct is short-chain fatty acids. Short-chain fatty acids may play a role in reducing inflammatory diseases, type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and other conditions.

Dietary fiber is the term used to describe the combination of insoluble and soluble fibers. Soluble fiber is the form of fiber that dissolves in water. Foods containing soluble fiber include fruits, oats, legumes, and barley. Insoluble fiber comes from plant cell walls and does not dissolve in water. Foods containing insoluble fiber include wheat, vegetables, and seeds. Fiber works by both bulking up the stool and retaining water.
