Gut Health Superfood = Fiber

Why?

Intestinal Transit Time

         a. Foods to avoid: 'lingering foods'

              Make it harder for stool microbes to leave the system

         b. Bad microbes stay  too long (12+ hours) and cause problems

         c. Consider eating high fiber (daily goal of 40-50 grams)

         d. Consider taking a stool softener

         e. Aim for 2-4 bowel movements daily.

         f.  Drink plenty of water
