Fiber. You’ve probably heard “it’s good for you.” But how—and why?

A question I always come back to is, “Do you know why you’re taking this?” Fiber deserves that same conversation.

So, let’s talk about it.

There are two main types. Soluble fiber dissolves in water; some forms create a gel. Insoluble fiber adds bulk and helps move stool along. Many foods contain both.
