Millions of adults in the U.S. fail to meet their daily dietary fiber requirements, a fact that often goes unnoticed until serious health issues emerge. According to a study published in Nature Metabolism by scientists investigating gene activity, certain molecules from fiber appear to latch onto specific regions in your DNA (1). This means you get more than digestive support: your body's own genetic processes are influenced by the fiber on your plate. You might not know that grains, vegetables and fruits containing this carbohydrate help maintain everything from heart function to cellular repair.
