🥦 Why Fiber Matters:
📊 Only ~5% of Americans hit their daily fiber goals. Average intake = 16 g/day, while the goal is 25–30 g/day. 🚨 Low fiber diet means higher risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, certain cancers, and digestive issues. ✨ But the good news? Simple swaps can help you close the fiber gap! Start small. Add one fiber-rich food each day and build up 💚
🌱 Simple Ways to Boost Your Fiber
1️⃣ Swap refined grains → whole grains (brown rice, oats, whole-wheat bread).
2️⃣ Add legumes → lentils, beans, chickpeas in soups & salads.
3️⃣ Snack smart → fruits with skin (apples, pears, berries) + nuts/seeds.
4️⃣ Breakfast boost → chia pudding or oatmeal topped with fruit.
