Among the abundance of fads and buzzwords - fiber is high up on that list currently. So let’s dive into what it is, why you need it, and what it does.
Fiber is one of those unsung heroes of nutrition that so often gets overlooked. While most of us know we should eat our fruits and veggies, the significance of something so small like fiber intake can fly under the radar. 
Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that the body can't digest. It comes in two forms: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can help lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, while insoluble fiber adds bulk to your stool and aids in digestion. Both types are crucial for overall health. Sometimes it can make it easy to picture fiber like glue, it is helping bind things together while picking up other stuff along the way.
