4 Ways to Get More Fiber

Here are 4️⃣ easy ways to get more fiber in your diet! 👏

👉 Chia seeds absorb 10x their weight in water. Start each morning by adding 1TB of chia seeds soaked in 12 oz. of water. Let it sit for 10 minutes so chia seeds can bloom before drinking. This is a great way to hydrate the colon first thing in the morning before drinking dehydrating coffee.

👉 Okra is rich in fiber, magnesium, and folate. The mucilaginous components of okra soothe the lining of the digestive tract and can even help with peptic ulcers! Add 1 cup of frozen okra to your morning smoothie. It’s totally tasteless and is an easy way to add more nutrients to your diet.

👉Psyllium husk can help ease digestive issues and very high in soluble fiber. In studies, it’s been shown to lower LDL cholesterol. I have noticed my hormone health greatly improve by including in my life daily. Consume 2 tsps of psyllium husk powder (or 1-2 TB of whole psyllium husk) with 12 ounces of water in between meals and use a shaker bottle to mix well.

👉 Beans and legumes are high in protein and are the richest source of soluble fiber of any food. Beans are a powerhouse for binding to bile due to their soluble fiber content and removing excess hormones and toxins from the body. Add one cup of beans a day to your meals to reap the rich benefits of this food. Plus, legumes in the diet are tied to some of the highest longevity “hot spots” in the world!
