Description

In this Ask Me Anything episode, Medical News Today editors Yasemin Nicola Sakay and Maria Cohut ask registered dietitian Lisa Valente all about fiber — what it is and why we need it. They also discuss how much fiber everyone needs to consume, whether whole foods are better than supplements like psyllium husk, and whether fiber can help improve insulin sensitivity and aid weight loss.
