Fiber / Fibre at Menopause : MenopauseWize
Fiber supports almost every system of the human body and is even more important at menopause. Why? Because it can also help in regulating our hormones
and may even reduce some of the symptoms of menopause. PMID: 35983178
In general, 14 gm of fibre for every 1000 calories consumed per day is recommended. PMID: 35807822
So, if you consume 2000 calories, you need around 28 gm in the day.
Homework for you - Head on to google or any online calculator and look for the fiber content in
one cup of cut lettuce
one cup of boiled beans or rajma and
one chicken breast
