How a high Fiber diet is actually better for you.
since starting 6 different medications and my doctor being concerned about my cholesterol. (genetically, I wasn't given a good chance) I need to start a high fiber diet. My stomach has not been happy with me since being on all these meds.
I went grocery shopping yesterday and found some things that were fairly cheap (coupons) Being on a diet does NOT mean you have to give up everything you love.
however did you know, you only need about 20-30g or fiber a day to lower cholesterol? Fiber causes the cholestrol to not be absorbed into the bloodstream, which then comes out in the bathroom
so here's breakfast! I wanted something sweet. 😊
Special K chocolate craving (no milk for me. milk wont change the fiber content for this) has about 3g of fiber per 1 cup serving.
Great Value fiber brownie bars are literally to die for. I had 3 yesterday and at 5g of fiber per bar they are PERFECT for a quick grab. 👌🏻 I could eat these all day and be content.
The Yoplait did not mention any fiber, but I wanted it to breakup all the chocolate.
and starting off at 8g of fiber isn't a bad start! 🧹 #high in fibers #high in fiber #fiberforhealth #reduces cholesterol #fibers
Adopting a high fiber diet is crucial, especially for individuals concerned about cholesterol. Fiber helps to lower cholesterol levels by preventing absorption into the bloodstream and promotes digestive health. A daily intake of 20-30 grams is recommended for effective health benefits. Incorporating foods like beans, lentils, fruits, and whole grains can significantly improve fiber intake. For instance, breakfast options can be both satisfying and healthy, such as adding Special K chocolate cereal, which contains about 3g of fiber per serving. Alternatively, snack on Great Value fiber brownie bars that offer 5g of fiber each, making them perfect for a quick grab-and-go option. Remember, being on a diet doesn't mean sacrificing taste. Balance your meals with fiber-rich choices while enjoying your favorites, and you'll find that a high fiber diet is not only beneficial but also enjoyable!
