Does a person need to take fiber, even if it is not essential? Check out the comprehensive piece on fiber! In recent years, supporters of some fashionable nutritional styles, such as low-carb and carnivore, emphasize that fiber is not an essential component of nutrition for us and therefore question its role in human nutrition. They cite Eskimos and other anecdotal evidence as examples, and often even claim that sources of fiber are bad for us. That's why we decided to comprehensively process fiber in a new episode of the IMV Podcast. In the first part of the new episode, they classified individual types of fiber, sources of fiber in human nutrition, and then we explained how dietary and functional fiber works in our body and what health effects it has in the area of ​​cardiovascular, metabolic and oncological diseases. And vice versa, who should pay attention to fiber intake in case of specific diseases. Subsequently, we analyzed the appropriate dosage of fiber for children and adults and discussed the benefits and risks of so-called low-calorie pasta and rice, which are usually made from so-called konjac flour and their effect is based on fiber and water binding. Finally, we mentioned specific steps to increase dietary fiber intake if it is not sufficient. At the end of the episode, we traditionally devoted space to your questions in the Q&A section, where this time we comprehensively answered questions about the effectiveness and suitability of various forms of magnesium and the real effects of the shilajit nutritional supplement on our hormones and health.
