Did you know the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans say people should consume 25-38 grams of fiber daily, and that the average American consumes only 15 grams?
What’s crazy is that incorporating fiber into your diet can be virtually effortless, with Fiber One cereals offering at least 30 percent of the Daily Value per serving. (Some Fiber One cereals offer more than 50 percent!) Fiber One Original® and flavored varieties like Honey Clusters®, Raisin Bran Clusters®, Caramel Delight®, and Shredded Wheat®, make fiber taste good and help to give people a jumpstart on their fiber intake each day.
I was blessed to review some Fiber One cereal and my taste buds decided that it is both tasty and delicious! There are some great Fiber One cereal options on the grocery shelf, but out of the types I tried, my favorite is the Honey Clusters. It tastes similar to another brand I love, and I appreciate it taking care of a great portion of my fiber! (Because, women can I get an ‘amen’ to the fact we need our fiber?!) Seriously though this is a very easy way to get my nutritious fiber intake!
A recent nutrition review* concludes that eating fiber is associated with reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes. In addition, fiber helps you feel satisfied, which makes it easier to stick to your diet and lose weight without feeling as hungry. Outlined below are intriguing statistics from a recent survey:
- 30 percent thought they were getting the recommended Daily Value of fiber
- 66 percent say they struggle to incorporate fiber into their diets
- 51 percent said that they don’t think about incorporating fiber into their diet, while 21 percent said fiber is too difficult to find in foods they enjoy
- 45 percent said they would like their fiber to come with honey
- Ladies, getting fiber in foods you love doesn’t have to be a struggle when there are delicious honey clusters, plump and juicy raisins, caramel-flavored whole wheat squares, or whole grain shredded wheat biscuits with frosting that make it taste amazing like in these Fiber One cereals. For digestive reasons it is important to eat your fiber, so don’t neglect!
