Let's talk about fiber today! ☀️

👉🏻 Dietary fiber is a complex carbohydrate that gives you no energy because your body can't break it down / digest it.

👉🏻 There are two types of dietary fiber: soluble and insoluble. Both are equaly important.

🥑 SOLUBLE FIBER
This type dissolves in water & supports the health of intestinal wall. It also might be able to regulate cholesterol levels!
- banana, apple, avocado, oatmeal ..

🥜 INSOLUBLE FIBER
This type does the opposite - it doesn't dissolve in water but it absorbs it! Because of that reason it acts as a stool softener! Absorbing water makes the stool softer & easier to pass through!
- beans, nuts, cauliflower, whole wheat flour ..

📌 IMPORTANT !
💦 Make sure to drink your water!

One thing that people often forget is that too much fiber + not enough water can have OPPOSITE EFFECT! That means - it can get you constipated instead of helping with constipation!

👉🏻 30 g/per day + enough water (1,5 - 2 L/per day)
