High-Five for Fiber

Fiber continues to get “high-fives” from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Recently published is another study showing that those consuming diets high in fiber have lower levels of C-reactive protein, an indicator of inflammation that is recognized as a predictor of diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk.

I know it’s recommended that we get between 25-30 grams of fiber every day. Raw, fresh fruits and veggies and whole grains are what it takes to reach that amount. Do you find it tricky to pay attention to those levels? I found a fiber supplement that my kids really like (they even ask to have it for a snack), so that helps a lot!
