Nutrition and Fitness

            
            
             People in the western civilization are the worst for fiber intake, they only take in about 12 grams and the body needs 20. Fiber intake should be done gradually and not fast like in the advertised drinks and supplements. Too much fiber on the other hand can be bad, too much can stop the digestive track from absorbing nutrients and minerals the body needs.
