Fiber...that is the answer


I have awesome news for you ladies. It makes me so flippin excited that I feel it’s my duty to make sure you know and make the appropriate changes in your diet. Dietary fiber may help reduce the risk of the most common female reproductive cancer. So what do you have to do to get a decent amount of fiber in your diet? Only 5 grams for every 1,000 calories consumed. For example if you eat about 2,000 calories a day, you only need to grab a cup of oatmeal for breakfast (4 grams), snack on an ounce of almonds in the afternoon (3.5 grams), and have a medium-sized baked potato with the skin at dinner (5 grams) to put you above the range that will lower your chances of cancer by 20%. If you really want to go for the gold (honestly who doesn’t) try adding half a cup of raspberries (4 grams) to your oatmeal and top your potato with half a cup of black beans (8 grams).
How easy is that? Super Sassy too!
