2. ● As President and Chief Science Officer of
Nutrition Science Solutions, LLC, Mark Dreher,
PhD, consults clients and helps research the
technical challenges and vast health benefits of
proper nutrition.
● With his extensive background in clinical nutrition,
Dr. Mark Dreher knows the importance of including
foods high in dietary fiber in one’s diet.
3. ● The average Western diet does not contain enough
dietary fiber.
● According to the United States Department of
Agriculture, Americans average about 15 grams of
fiber every day, although dietary recommendations
suggest men eat between 30 and 38 grams and
women consume 21 to 25 grams per day.
4. ● One of the reasons Western diets are so lacking in
fiber is because they are high in animal protein and
processed foods.
● People who wish to change this simply have to
make slight adjustments to their diet – eating things
like fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and
whole grains can drastically improve one’s health
and increase daily fiber intake.
