Fiber Deficiency Crisis: Millions in US Suffer from Constipation

Millions in the US are Constipated Due to Lack of Fiber, Expert Warns In a recent video posted online, holistic health coach Autumn Clayman highlighted a concerning statistic: over 90% of women and 97% of men in the United States do not meet the recommended daily fiber intake. This alarming trend, Clayman warns, contributes significantly to widespread constipation and related health problems. "There's a lot of constipated people out there," Clayman states in her video, emphasizing the need for increased awareness. She contrasts the current focus on protein intake with the often-neglected importance of fiber. "People aren't protein deficient. People are not eating enough fiber." Clayman offers a practical solution: chia seed pudding. She explains that this simple dish is a great source of fiber, protein, minerals and omega-3s, making it an easy addition to a daily diet. She advocates for incorporating it daily, saying, "Start eating this every single day and I promise it's going to change everything." Clayman's video has garnered significant attention, highlighting the need for greater public education on the crucial role of fiber in maintaining good digestive health.
