Fiber is an essential part of a balanced diet, yet it’s something that many of us aren’t getting enough of every day. According to nutrition experts, adults should be consuming at least 25 grams of fiber per day, but most Americans fall short by about 9 grams per day. This “fiber gap” can have a significant impact on gut health, digestion, and overall well‑being.
Why Is Fiber So Important?
Fiber is a powerhouse macronutrient that supports a healthy gut microbiome — the trillions of microorganisms in your intestines that play a role in immunity, metabolism, and even mood. By feeding these beneficial bacteria, fiber promotes the production of short‑chain fatty acids, reduces bloating and discomfort, and supports regularity.
Fiber can also help with:
- Digestive Health: Supports regular bowel movements and prevents constipation.
- Blood Sugar Balance: Slows down the absorption of sugars.
- Heart Health: Helps reduce cholesterol levels.
- Satiety: Keeps you feeling satisfied between meals.
- Disease Prevention: Helps support long-term health by reducing the risk of chronic illnesses.
The Challenge of the Fiber Gap (we seem to be missing about 9 grams per day)
Even with the best intentions, many people struggle to consume enough fiber every day — in fact, most only get around 16 grams a day. Busy lifestyles, processed foods, and a lack of convenient fiber-rich snack options often get in the way. The gap is at least 9 grams a day and it can feel hard to figure out where to come up with the missing piece.
