Dear MEL Topic Readers, Protein is so last year.
Why fiber is the next big thing
Fiber is a carbohydrate in plant food, such as fruit, vegetables, whole
grains, and legumes. It passes through the body undigested, promotes bowel
regularity, helps control blood sugar, and lowers cholesterol. Also, because fiber-rich
foods are filling, they help you control your appetite and thus reduce
overeating. You should get enough fiber, say 25g to 30g+ daily, with a healthy
diet. For example, eat whole grains instead of refined grains, keep the skin on
potatoes, cucumbers, apples, and pears, or add berries and nuts to your
breakfast cereal. These days, younger consumers in the USA are getting obsessed
with their digestive health to improve their skin health and cognitive function.
Food companies are then launching fiber-enriched food, snacks, and even drinks
to capitalize on the trend. But why do they need highly processed, packaged products
to get enough fiber, which is naturally included in real foods?
Read the article and learn what American consumers are keen on after
protein.
