    I’m of the opinion that most Americans should start supplementing fiber around 30. Earlier may be better. Also start making pro fiber dietary choices like whole wheat bread, beans as a staple ingredient (they can replace meat in a lot of dishes), breakfast choices like oatmeal, whole wheat toast, fruit, or bran flakes, and snack choices like fruit, vegetables, or popcorn.

    Honestly I wish I’d gone high fiber younger. I’ve never had what you’d call excellent digestion, but a high fiber diet (slowly ramped up) and supplementation have brought it back to like when I was a teenager.
