The physician in the video suggested that people take what they think that they need in terms of fiber intake and double that amount to get enough fiber. How could a busy college student or working parent put this concept into practice?
The college student would need to know what the recommended daily fiber amount is. They could use an application on their smartphone to find out what this number is. They could eat fruit with a peel or have nuts or granola bars which are easy to take with them. By adding these types of foods to their diets gradually, they can reach the fiber intake recommendation more easily.
