Fiber! It’s arguably
one of the most important things in your diet. Now almost everybody has heard
about the need to have more fiber in their diet, but what exactly IS fiber and
why is it so important to our health and wellbeing? The first thing you should
know about fiber is that I am not talking about the material in your shirt! The
craziest thing about fiber is that your body does not absorb or digest it yet
it is as important for your health as protein and carbohydrates, in fact not
having enough fiber in your diet will make your trips to the toilet a living
nightmare instead of a pleasant cargo discharge! If you know what I am talking
about then you definitely need to read this piece! A lack of fiber in the diet can have more dire
health consequences than problems in the toilet; cancer and death can be on the
horizon if a lack of dietary fiber is not addressed. I am not trying to scare
you but just laying down the facts, what really scares me is that there is an
overabundance of dietary fiber in Nigeria yet most people lack it and are not
aware they lack it. What we want to do here at corefitness is to make you aware
of dietary fiber, why you should make it a must in your diet and how you can
get enough of it.
