Constipation
Constipation is one of the signs that your diet is not high in fiber. Fiber works by absorbing water, improving digestion.
You can add oats with fruit and chia seeds for breakfast, whole grains...
Smoking immediately after eating
Meals rich in fiber help you feel full longer because fiber digests slowly, blooms when absorbed with water and needs to be chewed more carefully. This prolongs the emptying of the stomach and sends a fullness signal to the brain.
In contrast, a low-fiber meal makes you hungry quickly even if you have supplemented protein or healthy fats.
High cholesterol
Fiber, especially soluble fiber, helps reduce cholesterol by limiting the absorption and increasing the excretion of cholesterol from the body. This reduces the risk of clogged arteries.
Fatigue, sluggishness
Fiber helps balance blood sugar by slowing down digestion, thereby slowing down glucose absorption. This prevents sudden spikes and drops in blood sugar, helping to maintain stable energy and improve overall health.
If you are often tired and sluggish, it may be due to a lack of fiber in your diet.
