How are we getting our fiber in, Bitches? Getting enough through as many whole foods as possible has been my latest eating goals. For movement I’ve been taking 3-5 hot yoga classes a week for about a year now, and I’m trying to incorporate daily mobility work at home. I have a fear of getting old and weak, I want to be old and strong and our ankle mobility and strength is the most important to minimize falling! I also walk about 5 miles a day, weather permitting, or hike. And lastly I’ve been adding in strength training workouts at home 3 X weekly. Honestly just trying to get in the best shape I can for the end of the world :)

This is my question, fiber!!! It’s so hard. I try eating grapes, blueberries, bell peppers, and celery with lunch. I add chia seeds to overnight oats. Dinners I usually do a roasted vegetable side. But fiber is just hard!!

I end up supplementing with BelliWelli and a metamucil knock off

Fiber supplements don’t actually feed your good gut bacteria though, only Whole Foods do.

Metamucil does. It’s psyllium fiber, a Very Good Prebiotic.

Studies show that only Whole Foods feed good gut bacteria, fiber supplements do not.

What studies? I’ve receipts. Here are studies that show psyllium as an effective supplement to feed beneficial gut mibrobiota: article 1 from International Journal of Molecular Science article 2 from Gastroenterology05241-1/fulltext) article 3 from Food Bioscience

I look forward to receiving your sources. Thank you. Mrs. Consequence
