"There is a nine-year gap between living to a certain age in good health and then living in poor quality of health at the end of your life. Behavioral or nutritional strategies that can keep someone healthy are very on trend right now."
"If you're not consuming a lot of fiber, you're possibly consuming calories from other macronutrient groups, and they may be high in carbohydrates or fats, which can lead to weight gain. Then, depending on a number of factors that may impact one's cancer risk, a fiber deficiency may increase your risk for certain cancers."
"Fiber supports healthy digestion and has been linked to a lower risk of certain cancers, among many other benefits. Research shows that consistently low fiber intake can contribute to metabolic and cardiovascular problems, including diabetes and obesity."
Fiber consumption significantly influences overall health by supporting digestion and reducing risks for certain cancers and metabolic diseases. The "fibermaxxing" trend encourages consuming recommended daily fiber amounts and reflects growing awareness of the distinction between lifespan and healthspan—living longer in good health versus poor health. Research demonstrates that consistently low fiber intake contributes to metabolic and cardiovascular problems including diabetes and obesity. When fiber consumption is insufficient, people often consume excess calories from carbohydrates and fats, leading to weight gain and increased cancer risk. Health experts recognize nutritional strategies like adequate fiber intake as effective approaches for maintaining quality of life during aging.
