what fiber actually does in the body and why you need to eat more of it

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you want your waist to be snatched, skin to be clear, have more energy throughout the day, have less food noise and cravings, be less bloated, puffy, support healthy hormones, you need to be eating more fiber. Especially in a world that's so obsessed with protein, the more protein you eat, the more fiber you need to be eating as well. Fiber does so much more than just help you go to the bathroom. It is literally the foundation of gut health. It helps to stabilize our blood sugar, helps to support high energy levels throughout the day. For us women, it's really great at helping to balance our hormones because fiber binds to excess waste toxins and hormones, specifically estrogen. Androgens can literally cause you to look super bloated. In general, 95% of Americans are not eating enough fiber on a daily basis. When you really start to pay attention to eating more fiber, you might notice so many things that you, you know, on a daily basis that literally give you very little to no fiber. Chia seeds, lentils, quinoa, adzuki beans, raspberries, kiwi, apples, sweet potatoes, black beans, chickpeas, literally it doesn't have to be hard, but I'm telling you, a lot of your problems will be solved by eating more fiber.
