\u201cMost plant foods contain a combination of both types. So how much fiber should you get? For most active adults, a practical goal is 25-35 grams per day.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
One tip Labrada shared was to avoid fiber if you\u2019re about to hit an intense workout, as it can cause you to feel sluggish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHere\u2019s an important tip if you work out. I would not eat a huge amount of fiber immediately before an intense training session because fiber can slow down digestion and may leave you feeling heavy or full. Instead, distribute your fiber throughout the day and put your larger high-fiber meals away from your workout window.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Labrada hasn\u2019t stopped guiding bodybuilders coming up, including his son, Hunter. He believes fiber earns its spot in everyone\u2019s diet and offers a range of worthwhile health benefits.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAs we get older, fiber becomes increasingly important. Fiber can support healthy cholesterol, blood sugar control, appetite management, digestive health, gut microbiome, all of which continue to maintain your health as you get older.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
