자주 묻는 질문
Why is fiber important?
Digestive health (prevents constipation), blood sugar control (slows glucose absorption), cholesterol reduction, gut microbiome health. Lower fiber = higher disease risk.
Should I take fiber supplements?
Food sources better (whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes). Supplements help if intake < 15 g/day. Start low (5 g); increase gradually to avoid bloating. Drink water (fiber needs hydration).
Can too much fiber be harmful?
> 50–60 g/day may cause bloating, gas, cramping. Abrupt increase (< 1 week to high levels) = GI distress. Increase gradually (2 g/week). Medical conditions (IBS, IBD) may need individualization.
