According to a large national health survey, the average person gets just 16 grams of fiber a day, or about half of the minimum level that’s recommended to maintain good health (2).n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n One reason average fiber intake remains so low is that many healthful foods have less fiber than you might expect. For example, a typical packet of oatmeal only provides about three grams of fiber while a medium apple, including skin, also provides around three grams.n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n Not only do most of us fail to consume the recommended amount of dietary fiber, but we also fall short on variety. Different foods offer a mix of dietary fiber types, each with unique properties that contribute to overall digestive balance. By selecting from a variety of different fiber-rich foods, you can be sure to get the greatest benefit for digestive health.n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n It’s best to increase your dietary fiber gradually to meet your recommended daily level. Sudden dietary changes can lead to gastrointestinal upset, even when you’re making a change to support better health. One approach is to add a few servings of fiber-rich foods like whole grains, beans, fruit, and vegetables each week to work toward meeting your goal.n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n Expanding your variety is as important as increasing the total amount of dietary fiber. Start by adding foods like banana and psyllium hulls that are sources of soluble fiber, known for supporting digestive balance. Also include foods like flaxseed, oats, and wheat germ that promote digestive regularity because they’re rich in insoluble fiber (3).n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n While IsaLean Shake is already an excellent source of fiber, adding a nutritious fiber boost to your shake can bring more variety to Shake Days and help you meet your goals. Try your shake with these additions to increase your daily fiber and contribute to greater digestive balance.n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <b> n n n n n Shake Addition n n n n n </b> n <br/> n <b> n n n n n Caloriesn n n n n </b> n <br/> n <b> n n n n n Total Fiber n n n n n </b> n <br/> n <b> n n n n n Soluble Fiber (grams)n n n n n </b> n <br/> n <b> n n n n n Insoluble Fiber (grams)n n n n n </b> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n Almonds (6 whole)n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n40n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n0.5n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n&lt; 0.5n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n0.5n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n Flaxseed (1 tablespoon)n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n55n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n3n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n1n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n2n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n Apple (1 small)n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n80n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n3n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n1n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n2n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n Banana (½ small)n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n50n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n1.5n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n0.5n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n1n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n Blueberries (3/4 cup)n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n60n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n1.5n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n0.5n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n1n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n Psyllium hull (1 teaspoon)n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n20n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n5n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n3n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n2n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n Instant oats (1/3 cup dry)n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n100n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n3n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n1.5n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n1.5n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n Wheat germ (3 tablespoons)n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n80n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n4n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n1n n n n n <br/> n n n n n n3n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n  n n </p> n</div> n<h4 style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px; margin-block-start:1em; margin-block-end:1em;”> n n n Referencesnn n</h4> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n King DE, Mainous AG 3rd, Lambourne CA.

For most, though, oil-based products and moisturizers support healthy, radiant skin. Oils contain natural fatty acids that are key to skin hydration (1). However, the type of oil or how an oil-based product is applied impacts whether it will cause clogged pores or occlusions (2). Choosing a moisturizer that’s suited for your skin type and applying it to freshly washed skin can help lock in moisture without locking in the dirt or dead skin cells associated with acne or clogged pores (3).n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Misconception #2: All alcohols are irritating and will dry out my skin.n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n When we think of alcohol in skincare, we often think back to our teen years and the overly drying and burning sensation we felt from acne-fighting astringents and toners.

Your body digests and absorbs nutrients from the foods you eat, but there are substances in food your body cannot digest. When those leftover materials travel through your digestive system to your large intestine, they become fuel for the microbes in your gut. A healthy, balanced microbiome turns otherwise indigestible food components into beneficial substances. These include nutrients like vitamin K or bioactive metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids that promote the health of intestinal cells and wellbeing throughout the body (1).n n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n n Immunity might not be the first function that comes to mind when you think of the gastrointestinal tract, but the gut is considered the largest organ in the immune system (2).  It plays a central role in regulating healthy, balanced immune function with the help of the gut microbiome. Interactions between the body’s network of immune cells and beneficial microbes in the intestine help to strengthen and focus the body’s overall immune defenses. A diverse and flourishing gut microbiome is linked to a strong, healthy immune system and a robust intestinal barrier. A depleted gut microbiome is associated with a weaker immune system and poor intestinal barrier function (2).n n n </p> n</div> n<h3 style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px; margin-block-start:1em; margin-block-end:1em;”> n n n n Power of Probioticsnn n n</h3> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n n Probiotics are living bacteria and other microbes that benefit health when consumed in sufficient amounts (3).
