Happy Monday, !
This week we're going to focus on making sure you have enough BULK in your diet! That's right, we're going to make sure we get enough fiber EVERY SINGLE DAY!
There are so many great reasons to eat enough fiber, but first, let's go over the kinds of fiber.
First, there's soluble fiber, which dissolves in water. It forms a gel-like material that helps lower your blood cholesterol and glucose levels. You find it in legumes, oats, citrus fruits, psyllium, barley, and apples.
Next is insoluble fiber, which keeps your digestive system running smoothly. You can find this kind of fiber in whole wheat flour, bran, beans, nuts, and vegetables like cauliflower, green beans, and potatoes.
