Fiber plays such an important role in our mental and emotional health and is often a neglected part of our plates. Fiber isn’t just for digestion, it may also support your mood. When gut bacteria break down fiber, they produce compounds that help make serotonin, the “feel-good” chemical your gut and brain both use to communicate. More fiber, happier gut bacteria, better conversation with your brain. 🧠

Most plant foods contain a mix of both, so eating a variety is the easiest way to cover your bases
Not bad for something you can’t even digest, huh? 🙌🏽
There are so many other high fiber foods as well, like blueberries 🫐, broccoli 🥦 , black beans 🫘 and more!
If you’re not sure where you land, try tracking your fiber for a few days. You might be surprised🤷🏽♀️
