Fiber for Longevity

30 grams a day is the floor, not the ceiling.

Types

Soluble fiber (oats, beans) lowers cholesterol; insoluble (whole grains, skins) supports regularity.

Build Gradually

Increase by 5g weekly to avoid bloating. Drink water alongside.

Track Simply

One cup of beans, two servings of vegetables, and whole grain at each meal gets you close.
