Fiber: Your Gut’s Gift to Your Heart

Fiber’s a heart-health MVP. The BHF says 30g daily—think oats, beans, or wholegrain bread—lowers cholesterol and steadies blood sugar, cutting heart risk by 15%. It binds LDL in your gut, flushing it out, and feeds good bacteria for less inflammation. Start breakfast with porridge (5g), lunch with lentils (8g), snack on an apple (4g). Too much too fast? Ease in—bloating fades. Studies show every 7g ups survival odds post-heart event. Pair with water for max effect. Your heart and gut are high-fiving—fill up on fiber!
