Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised when I sit down with an athlete or client who eats a plethora of fruits and vegetables every day. Yesterday I had one of those days that made me smile. But, more often than not, I am busy encouraging produce intake and trying to nudge people toward higher fiber foods. So, when I saw this drink mix advertised in the CVS flyer, I knew I had to check it out.
This drink contains a whooping 10 grams of soluble fiber in the form of polydextrose (women need about 28 grams of fiber per day, men need about 35 grams) and 0 calories. Soluble fiber is the kind that can help lower your blood cholesterol and soften your stools which may make “going” a little easier.
I haven’t tried this product yet but think it is worth a shot for those people who like flavored drink mixes they can pour in their bottled water. Zero calories + 1/3 of your daily fiber needs.
Thanks for a great tip! Obviously, we should be getting our fiber from food, but it doesn't always happen that way and it's nice to know there is something convenient out there that will help guarantee greater health. Thanks.jenhttp://www.bodaweightloss.com/blog
