Good morning, y'all.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Today's issue:

Fiber. Are you adding enough fiber in your diet? Did you know for fiber to work, you also have to drink water? the fiber binds with the fats in your body, the water moves them on out

An appropriate day's worth of fiber for an adult is:
14 grams for every 1,000 calories
so one day's worth of fiber would be:
1/2 c oatmeal 3 grams
1/2 c cooked beans 7 grams and
1 apple 5 grams
that just satisfies for the 1,000 cal count, eating more? add more
be sure and check your fiber counts, it will make you feel much fuller and will remove the ickies from your body!
