Dietary Fiber

Fiber....good for lowering cholesterol, good for weight loss, good for improving blood sugar levels, good for digestive health. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for dietary fiber is 25-35 grams/day. Americans get an average of 12 grams/day. We are horrible about this. Why? Well, you'll find fiber in carbohydrates (pasta, bread, rice, oats, fruits, vegetables, etc.) that have not been processed or refined. For example, white rice is a refined product. Brown rice is not. Foods with white flour are refined b/c the flour is refined. Foods with whole wheat flour are better b/c they are much less refined. If we got the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables, we'd do much better at getting close to the 25 grams of fiber that is recommended.

Bios Life Slim has 3 grams of fiber per serving so it gives you an extra push towards the 25. You still have to make good food choices.
