Fiber!

Fiber gets a pretty bad rap. We often associate fiber with gas and bloating, but fiber is so important for so many reasons! Why is fiber important?
   -Fiber can help you maintain a healthy weight by keeping you feeling full
   -Fiber is key to a healthy digestive tract and can prevent diverticulitis
   -Eating the right amount of fiber can help prevent certain types of cancer
The American Heart Association recommends that we eat 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories we eat. So for women eating 2,000 calories a day you should be eating about 28 grams of fiber. Most Americans are only eating half of what they should be.
But now supplements are emerging that make eating fiber so much tastier, like Vitafusion Fiber Gummies. They come in all different fruit varieties and taste like candy! You can buy them at Target or in some grocery stores or online at Amazon.com or Drugstore.com.
If you do take this advice and start increasing the amount of fiber in your diet, be sure to also up your water intake so you avoid bloating and gas.
