That nutrient?  👉   Fiber. đź’Ş  Fiber — The Power Nutrient You’re Probably Missing According to the  American Society for Nutrition (2021) , only  5% of men and   9% of women  meet daily fiber recommendations. The average American  consumes  just  16 grams of fiber per day, men about 18 grams and women only 15 grams per day , far below the target. Fiber isn’t just about digestion — it’s a cornerstone of long‑term health. ❤️  Health Risks of Low Fiber Intake Getting too little fiber increases your  risk  of: Heart disease   đź’“ Type   2   diabetes ...
