Dear PRAMITA friends, have you ever heard of the term fibermaxxing? Although it may sound complicated, it is actually just a creative way to say “let’s eat more fiber” —

and it’s currently trending on social media. The goal is clear: to meet or even exceed the daily recommended fiber intake, which is around 25–35 grams per day for adults.

Unlike strict diets, fibermaxxing is not about cutting foods, but about adding more fiber to every meal. How? By creating main dishes and snacks from high-fiber ingredients

such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, seeds, and whole grains. Examples include adding chia seeds to smoothies, avocado to scrambled eggs, or roasted chickpeas to salads.

Fiber has two main types: soluble fiber, which helps control blood sugar, cholesterol, and digestion (found in oats, apples, avocados, and peas), and insoluble fiber, which

acts like a natural broom for the intestines to promote regular bowel movements (found in fruit skins, leafy greens, and whole grains). Both are equally important, so varying fiber sources is the key.

The benefits of fibermaxxing range from stabilizing blood sugar, supporting heart health, improving digestion, to keeping you full longer. Many nutrition experts agree this

trend is safe if done correctly: increase fiber gradually and drink enough water to avoid bloating or digestive discomfort.

However, fibermaxxing is not suitable for everyone. PRAMITA friends with certain conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, diverticulitis, or those on a low-fiber diet

should consult a doctor first.

If you want to try, start simple: replace white rice with brown rice, add vegetables to every plate, snack on fresh fruit, and mix fiber sources from various colors and plant

types.

Remember, fiber is not just about gram numbers, but about diversity and balance that fit each body. So, let’s start smart fibermaxxing, enjoy delicious food, and feel the

benefits for a healthier body.
