Is fiber the new protein?
Fiber does more than keep you regular. Fiber is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, certain cancers, and various gastrointestinal issues.
Fiber also helps with digestion and absorption. Adding fiber to your meal helps smooth out blood sugar spikes and reduce heartburn and acid reflux.
Sadly, according to the American Society for Nutrition, more than 90% of Americans don’t get enough fiber in their diet. Many dietitians consider it a major unsung public health concern.
The reverse is true with protein: 90% of Americans meet their daily protein target, with more than half exceeding it significantly.
No hate for protein – your body needs that too – but consider adding some fiber. Odds are good you need it!
Each Junebar contains around 25% of your daily fiber. Convenient, right?
You can also find fiber in whole grain products, vegetables, beans, and most whole food products.
Ultra-processed foods often strip out nutrients in favor of dopamine-triggering additives, refined carbohydrates, and fats, which feel good in the moment but come back to haunt you.
Switching out even one or two processed foods with a better-for-you alternative can make a big difference!
Junebar is a high fiber snack bar. All natural, vegan, gluten free, seed oil free, and delicious!
