Why YSK: fiber is important for optimal human health. It helps us avoid diabetes, heart disease, colon cancer, obesity, and other diseases. This is particularly important in developed countries such as mine (USA) that are suffering greatly from these diseases.
The recommended daily fiber intake is 25g for women and 38g for men in the USA, and 95% of us don’t meet this amount. This suggests an urgent need for us to increase our daily fiber intake, which can be achieved by swapping out ultra-processed foods and animal foods that are void of fiber with whole plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.
This also relates to jaw and gum health too. Most folks eat too soft a diet as well (fibrous foods often require more chewing).
i really wish someone would bring to market dentastix but for humans, make a slightly abrasive rubbery stick that i can just sit and gnaw on like cowboys with a straw of grass.
would not only improve jaw health, but help clean your teeth a bit at the same time!
