Digestion rewards routine and fiber. The gut responds predictably to what and how consistently you eat.
Build Fiber Gradually
Aim for the 25 to 38 gram target through varied plants. Raise intake slowly to avoid the bloating a sudden jump brings.
Mix soluble and insoluble. Variety covers both the feeding and the bulk roles fiber plays.
Keep Water Up
Fluid helps fiber move comfortably through the system. The two work as a pair, not separately.
Sip through the day. Steady intake supports regularity better than catching up.
Protect the Rhythm
Roughly consistent meal times steady the gut's expectations. Erratic eating disrupts more than people notice.
Manage stress. The gut and brain communicate closely, so calm helps digestion too.
