Fiber is the ultimate game changer needed in our diet

What is fiber?

Fiber unlike protein exists in all vegetables, fruits, unprocessed grains, cereals and legumes. Astonishing fibers are carbohydrates, which our body is unable to digest, they pass through our digestive system unchanged and give numerous health benefits.

As soon as we talk of benefits, we lazy humans ask for supplements, it’s easy to swallow something than to chew… chew …chew…. like apples, cucumbers, pears, most greens. Sadly, studies have shown that blindly using fiber supplement in diet isn’t going to do any magic as they need to be accompanied with wholesome food.

Contrary there are medical conditions that require monitored fiber supplementation but just doing it to achieve weight loss or meet certain health targets is not fruitful.

Why fiber supplements don't work?

It is so because most supplements are usually extracted from one source but for our body to gain benefits we need to eat different types of fiber which includes fruits, vegetables and grains. As we have diverse gut bacteria and they all come with their taste preferences so we need to feed those!

So fiber supplements may seem like a convenient solution for improving overall health, the most effective way to reap the benefits of fiber is through wholesome eating and incorporating diverse sources of fiber into your diet.
