Two, go slow.
So start at even
half of one teaspoon, a fourth of one teaspoon.
See how you do for a couple of days and then ramp up.
Because like a lot of things, if you were to just suddenly start on a high fiber diet, even from just the foods that you're eating, if you do too much too quickly, I'm seeing a lot of this with our fiber maxing social media trend, you're going to feel sick within the next two days.
And you're going to say, I give up.
This is horrible.
I don't feel good.
But if you just ramped up slowly, given your body time to adjust, you could hit that high dose over time.
And actually just realize how wonderful life is once you're that regular.
Okay.
I'm so glad you asked that question because yes, you should be doing some of these anyway.
And I think that's the whole issue here in gut health is that sometimes people think some of these interventions are just for people who have a problem, who identify as feeling ill or having symptoms.
And eating enough fiber is something that 95% of Americans are not doing.
And we know that that's something that will be associated with lowering our risk of dementia, lowering our risk of heart attacks, lowering our risk of colorectal cancer.
So even if you don't have GI symptoms, being regular, eating a high fiber diet is really, really important for you.
Yes.
So most people go to their toilet and they sit down at this 90 degree angle, which is pretty much exactly how we sit when we're sitting at our desk chair, sitting on our couch.
And that's not conducive to a healthy bowel movement.
Like our modern toilets are not designed for our actual anatomy.
