FIBER? Ya know, the thing that helps ya š©ā£. Did you know most people are lacking enough fiber in their diet.
Ideally, we should be getting it in every meal about 25-30 grams per day but most people only get 13-15 grams!ā£

Fiber plays an essential role in#guthealth. It helps keep your gut and digestion happy by feeding the healthy gut bacteria that already exist and improves digestion to help your body rid waste. High fiber foods are also high in essential vitamins and minerals which is always a plus! I recommend fiber to many of my clients who deal with blood sugar issues because fiber helps slow the absorption of glucose to help with those blood sugar spikes! Plus SO MUCH MORE. ā£
I love getting my Fiber in smoothies like this when I feel I'm lacking it in my daily diet.
Doing things to nourish your gut bacteria on a daily basis is crucial for a happy healthy gut in the long term. One thing Iāve been doing recently is making sure Iām getting enough fiber! And Iām feeling good if you know what I mean š©ā£
ā£
Eating a diet high in fruits and veggies will help up your fiber intake! š„šš„¬š„¦ā£
Some of my favorite high fiber foods are
Raspberries
Broccoli
Brussels
Squash
Avocado
Chia seeds

The link team worked link with a company called "Sent Into Space" which has done big projects with Nike, Reebok, and others. It took two months to create the rig and deal with the "very real concerns" that the link watch might not survive, Hast says.
We called it in and shot some photos together at HODINKEE Japan HQ, making it one of the very first stories we worked on together. I love the watch on its own merits, link but it will always remind me of working with my link incredible colleagues in Shibuya and just link how proud I am of HODINKEE Japan.
If you want specifics, check out the link Casio Wave Ceptor Solar, link which comes in a variety of versions for around $100 and is 40mm wide while offering both a backlight for the link screen and atomic radio synch for the movement. Solid stuff, if lacking the slickness, style, and cool factor of the Momentum.
