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.
Vegetables measured in units of 120mL (because it’s half of some cups) is really stupid.
Realistically it looks like the majority of my fiber intake is about to become oats and popcorn…
You can throw some chia seeds in the oats to add to it. Doesn’t change the taste or anything.
Ah but you assume I will remember to BUY Chia seeds 😂
Yeah, actually acquiring them is pretty critical to the whole idea.
Lol that’s hilarious. I laugh so much at the crazy mixing of units we use here in the US. Similarly, it’s quite common to see metric and customary units in the same sentence, as in “add 1 tablespoon to 100 mL of water”.
