Most Finns eat too little fiber. You should take care of an adequate intake of fiber, because it is a miracle substance in the diet, taking care of the well-being of the stomach and intestines. The daily fiber intake recommendation is approx. 25-35 grams per day. According to research, women get an average of 20 g and men 22, which is why it's worth paying attention to getting enough fiber. There is plenty of fiber in, for example, various seeds and nuts, fruits and berries, and whole grains. In the Puhdas+ product range, you can conveniently find various fiber supplements that play an important role in, for example, special diets, such as a gluten-free or ketogenic diet. Fibers have many health-promoting effects and their sufficient intake helps to stay healthy and have good strength.
Dietary fibers - what are they?
Fibers have dozens of different functions in the body. Fibers are food for the gut's own microbes. Dietary fibers are compounds obtained from food, which the body's digestive tract cannot break down on its own. They pass through the entire digestive tract, finally ending up in the large intestine. Fibers can be divided into insoluble and soluble fibers. Insoluble fibers increase and soften the amount of intestinal content mass, while soluble, i.e. gelling, fiber slows down the breakdown of carbohydrates while keeping blood sugar levels more even.
Puhdas+ products to support the well-being of your stomach
Fiber should be enjoyed in a versatile way through a rich diet or by adding fiber-rich supplements to the diet to support an adequate daily fiber intake. The use of fiber supplements should always be started cautiously with small amounts, gradually increasing the dose. Especially in people with sensitive stomachs, fibers can cause e.g. stomach bloating, so patience is key.
