Are you getting enough fiber into your diet?

You need fiber to keep healthy from top to bottom, as well as to provide food for the healthy bacteria that work within you to promote health.

Today, the average American eats about 8 grams of fiber a day. But the average hunter and gatherers ate 100 grams from all manner of roots, berries, leaves, and plant foods. And the fiber is what helped those ancestors of ours stay healthy. Just take a look at all the good things that fiber can do for your body.

In fact, fiber can actually prevent obesity and all the chronic diseases of aging. This is because fiber slows the rate at which food enters your bloodstream and increases the speed at which food exits your body through the digestive tract. That keeps your blood sugar and cholesterol in ideal balance — and quickly eliminates toxins from your gut and reduces your appetite.

You should shoot to get 30 to 50 grams of fiber into your diet every day. The type of fiber you choose is important, too.

You’ll find soluble fiber in fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, and most whole grains. The bacteria in your gut metabolize the soluble fiber in these foods, and that’s when the benefits start.

Soluble fiber can help lower cholesterol, blood sugar, and insulin, prevent cancer, balance hormone levels, remove excess estrogen and reduce the risk of breast cancer, make vitamins and minerals, provide food for the colon cells, and more. So it’s easy to see just how crucial soluble fiber is to good health!

Hmmm, heard this before? Just take a deep breath, pull the air all the way to the bottom of your lungs! Now a long slow exhale. see you all on Sept.11th at the Library for chair assisted YOGA with Pat.

This is because the relaxation nerve (or vagus nerve and not the Las Vegas nerve) goes through your diaphragm and is activated with every deep breath.

Here’s a simple practice that you can incorporate a few times a day, and it only takes minutes. I encourage you to do it right now if possible.

Take 5 Breathing Technique:
Sit on a chair, propped up on pillows in your bed, or cross-legged on a cushion on the floor.
Close your eyes and your mouth.
Breathe in slowly through your nose to the count of five. Hold to the count of five and then slowly breathe out to the count of five.
Do this 5 times.

That’s it. This is a super simple and effective way to calm your body down and find a moment of pause in your busy day.
