Interesting Facts About Fiber

1. Eating fiber can help with overeating.  It takes longer to chew and digest so you feel satisfied sooner and longer.  Right now I'm working on losing weight, and I've been trying to incorporate more fiber into my diet as a result.

2. Fiber is equally important to children as it is to adults.  They respond better to fibers found in fruits, vegetables and fortified cereals.  I'm always looking for ways to help my children eat better, and incorporating fiber into their meals is really important.

3. The more fiber you eat, the more water you need to drink.  Water keeps fiber moving through your digestive system, and requires at least 8 glasses a day to do so. I found this interesting because it's my goal to incorporate more fiber into my diet, and I need to know how to move it through and make it work for me!
