Americans need to eat more high fiber foods. Our nutrition is woefully below recommended levels of fiber. We consume only 15 percent of the recommended intakes for whole grains, less than 60 percent for vegetables, and less than 50 percent for fruits each day.

Fiber is essential for healthy functioning of our bodies. However, typical American diets are high in energy, but low in fiber and nutrients, particularly for our children. This is causing health problems. We are becoming overweight, while undernourished. We are facing higher risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, bowel disorders and type 2 diabetes.

Many of these health problems, especially diabetes, are surfacing at surprisingly younger ages. Click here for CDC’s latest diabetes projections.

Our families can become healthier by daily exercise and by including more fiber foods in each meal , along with low-fat and low-cholesterol choices. Since high fiber foods tend to be low in fat and cholesterol, yet rich in vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients, they are one of the best foods to provide health benefits.

    Hi excellent blog! Does running a website like this take a large amount of work? I have very little understanding of coding but I was hoping to start my own website in the near future. Anyways, if you have any suggestions or techniques for new website owners please share. I understand this is off subject however I just had to ask. Appreciate it!

      Hi Ji,
      I started out with SiteSell which gave me experience with building sites from a layperson perspective. As I became experienced, I learned some basic html. After a year, I decided to move to WordPress for the greater flexibility. Fortunately, SiteSell gave me the foundation to be able to easily convert to WordPress. Hope this helps.

  12. how many calories should i eat a day
    If you need a issue executed very well, do it your self

    • fiberfoodscoach says:

      Recommended caloric intake is very tailored. It depends on your activity level, height, muscular build, and health conditions, such as a diabetics, who may need to keep their carbs down to about 40 -45 grams per meal. If you are trying to lose weight, I recommend eating mostly vegetables and beans. You may eat as much as you want, and yet lose weight. Round these foods out with low fat, low cholesterol, high protein foods, like plain Greek yogurt where you add your fruit, which lowers the sugar typically found in fruit yogurt sold at retail. Small portions of fruit is good, but beware of its sugar content.
