Eat More of This One Nutrient to Reduce the Risk of Four Major Diseases

Sarah Garone
Feb 20, 2019

There may be no one magic bullet for better health, but sometimes research comes along to show just how impactful a single nutrient can be. A recent review published in the highly regarded medical journal The Lancet found that eating more of just one dietary substance led to lower rates of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and colon cancer.

Was it a vitamin? A mineral? Or the ever-popular protein? Nope. The edible element responsible for these dramatic effects was none other than that most humble of nutrients: Fiber.

What the Study Found

The review in The Lancet looked at “135 million person-years” of data from 185 studies that included over 4,600 participants. From this vast array of information, the authors determined that the risk of experiencing the four major diseases began to fall when people consumed 25 to 29 grams of fiber per day. It’s an interesting find that seems to confirm the recommended Daily Value of fiber is spot-on at 25 grams for women (and 38 grams for men).

The study also discovered that, as far as fiber for disease prevention, it seems more is better. According to its authors, “Higher intakes of dietary fiber could confer even greater benefit” for risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and colon cancer. In addition to these perks, people who consumed more fiber had lower body weight, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol.

The Connection Between Fiber and Disease

So what’s the connection between your morning bowl of raisin bran and warding off a host of scary diseases? It seems fiber plays a unique preventative role against each of four major ailments. When it comes to heart disease and stroke, fiber’s ability to lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol are the likely keys to its disease-fighting powers. The anti-inflammatory nature of fiber also makes it helpful for keeping these cardiovascular issues at bay. “Fiber may affect C-reactive protein, a biomarker for inflammation linked to the risk for cardiovascular disease,” says registered dietitian Karolin Saweres, RDN, LD.

Fiber has a long history as a food-as-medicine treatment for type 2 diabetes — so it’s not surprising getting more of it could help prevent this disease too. “Fiber delays absorption of glucose and may improve insulin sensitivity,” explains Saweres. These factors are key for improving blood sugar levels, the primary concern in managing diabetes.

Finally, colon cancer may be the disease with the most obvious connection to fiber. We all know getting enough fiber keeps things running smoothly in the digestive department — but this may not actually be why getting enough of it can help prevent cancer of the colon. Instead, some experts have speculated that fiber’s impact on healthy weight and reduced inflammation (two known factors in cancer risk) are the more likely causes.

Getting More Fiber in Your Diet

When you think fiber, your mind may conjure up unappealing images of Grandma’s prune juice and an endless stream of beans. But getting enough of this nutrient doesn’t have to be a chore. Opting for plant-based protein in place of meat, adding beans or lentils to wraps, soups, or salads, and adding greens to smoothies can all help you reach your daily target. Maybe you make your afternoon snack a dedicated time for fresh fruits and veggies. Or sprinkle nuts or seeds onto salads, cereals, or your morning oatmeal.

Though it’s best to get fiber from food sources, says Saweres, some people may benefit from a dietary supplement. “If someone is a picky eater and has issues with constipation due to not getting enough fiber in their diet, then I would recommend supplements,” she notes. While you’re at it, don’t forget the water: “I always recommend increasing fluid intake when increasing fiber intake,” she advises.

Can You Get Too Much?

If you’re heaping on the fiber, you may wonder: Is it possible to get too much? Aren’t there any, um, adverse events that might happen from going overboard with fiber? (Show of hands if you’ve ever seen the old SNL sketch “Colon Blow.”)

Technically, according to Saweres, “There’s no upper limit.” While it’s possible you could experience unpleasant symptoms like bloating, gas, and (believe it or not) constipation from too much fiber, it’s unlikely you’ll reach this point through diet alone. Some experts have noted that these effects kick in around 70 grams of fiber per day — about twice the recommended daily value for men and nearly three times the DV for women. Unless you follow a vegan or raw diet or are taking a serious supplement, you probably don’t need to worry.

So bring on the beans and greens — and heap up a plate of disease-fighting power.

Katy Perry's Hilarious Reaction To See Ex John Mayer Is TOO Relatable

Running into an ex can be absolutely awkward — especially if you're Katy Perry and your ex is paramour, singer-songwriter extraordinaire, John Mayer. We all know that even if your breakup ended on good terms, you may forget how to temporarily speak — I may or may not know from experience! So it's really not surprising that Katy had a totally hilarious reaction to seeing John at Sabrina Carpenter's concert...I mean, she's SO freakin' relatable.

See Katy Perry's reaction to awkwardly running into John Mayer!

x.com

It seems like Katy Perry and John Mayer are both Sabrina Carpenter fans because they were seen at her concert November 18. They didn't arrive together, but we don't think Katy was expecting him to sit RIGHT BEHIND HER as she got ready to enjoy the show. Once she turned around and saw who was sitting in the lucky seat, Katy's head dipped her head in an "Oh sh--" moment based on this short clip.

Same girl, same.

However, another clip captured by Deux Moi shows the two exes were engaged in a brief conversation. It doesn't look like there was any hostile energy between them so maybe they're on cordial terms.

Katy Perry & John Mayer's Quick Dating History

Larry Busacca/Getty Images for NARAS

According to US Weekly, Katy Perry & John Mayer had an "on and off" relationship for 3 years before deciding they were better apart. Beginning with a cute meet in 2009 and a reconnection in 2012, these were the epitome of opposites attract. Sources were quick to note both their romantic moments and multiple breakups, per E! News, but it seemed they had a lot of love for each other.

Our favorite moment involves Katy Perry telling Billboard how much she admired John. She called him a "genius" based on "his songwriting" and even said, "I've been a fan of John's for years before I actually got to kiss him."

Despite the fact their inner circles thought they seemed "perfect together,"E! News also reported Katy broke up with John for good in 2014.

Why We Lose Flexibility As We Age — And How to Get It Back

Even if you weren’t exactly in line for the Olympic gymnastics team as a kid (another reason Simone Biles is so impressive, honestly), chances are, you look back on those days as ones of your peak flexibility. Like running, remembering things, and making new friends, bending gradually gets harder as you age. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to keep your flex! Here’s why you lose your bendiness — and how to get it back.


Why Your Flexibility Stalls

Brit + Co

As though going through puberty weren’t enough of a struggle, it’s also the time when you start to lose your natural flexibility. “No one is more flexible in their life than they are as a child,” says Dr. Leython Williams, a doctor of physical therapy at Athletico Physical Therapy. “However, during puberty, children often become temporarily less flexible. Some children have slow growth spurts, while others grow very quickly. This temporary decrease in muscle length/flexibility is a result of their bones growing faster than their muscles and tendons can stretch.”

Note that Dr. Williams refers to this particular loss of flexibility as temporary — meaning we can’t blame puberty for the fact our toes seem to be getting farther away every time we try to touch them.

Brit + Co

“There is no specific age when we wake up and our flexibility has ‘officially declined.’ However, it is a fact that as we age our flexibility decreases, which leads to decreased functional ability and mobility,” he explains. “As our bodies get older, we lose a small amount of flexibility as a result of the normal aging processes. There is loss of water in our tissues and intervertebral discs, increased stiffness in our joints, and a loss of elasticity in muscles and tendons. In our 20s and 30s, it is important that we develop a consistent static and dynamic stretching regimen to establish and maintain flexibility and range of motion more easily into our older years.”

That’s right: What you do now matters later. And this isn’t just about keeping up in yoga, Dr. Williams cautions. “It becomes imperative that we stretch regularly to decrease our likelihood of various injuries.” Jill Belland, co-founder of Barre Belle, agrees. “It’s easy to feel invincible if you’re young and injury free! Flexibility will reduce your risk of injury: What doesn’t bend will break. Increased range of motion, balance, and mobility are all linked to flexibility and contribute to overall strength and fitness.”

How to Get It Back

Brit + Co

When you’re a kid, flexibility comes naturally; when you’re an adult, you have to take responsibility for improving and maintaining it. “Peak flexibility age for adults can differ person to person and depends largely on their physical activity habits,” says Dr. Rachelle Reed, PhD, Pure Barre’s manager of training development and barre kinesiologist. “Notably, flexibility can be improved at any age when flexibility training is incorporated into a regular exercise routine. It’s important for adults to be strategic about including flexibility training into their workouts, because maintaining flexibility and physical function as we move into middle and older adulthood is associated with better quality of life and independent living.”

There’s no one flexibility standard everyone has to meet, Belland reassures: “There is no golden rule for what perfect flexibility is person to person, but there are simple markers such as touching your toes from a forward fold for hamstrings/lower back, or reaching for your hands behind your back, with one hand behind the head and the other behind the waist, for shoulder mobility. You don’t need to be a contortionist; moving around with fluidity in your everyday life and having good range of motion in your favorite activities without feeling pain or tension is a better way to gauge your own personal goals.”

Brit + Co

But where do you start if you want to improve your flexibility? Dr. Reed explains, “There are two main types of flexibility training that you should aim to incorporate into your routine: Dynamic stretching, where a stretch is performed by moving through a challenging but attainable range of motion several times in a row, and static stretching, where a stretch is held in a challenging but attainable position for a longer period of time (at least 10-30 seconds).”

How do you know how far to go? “Our muscles have a natural stretch reflex that prevents us from going too far into a stretch, which can also cause injury,” Belland tells us. “Aim to gently stretch through this reflex. The key to increasing flexibility is about time under tension: It takes around 20 seconds to ease through the stretch reflex. Reintroduce the stretch and hold it for 10 seconds longer, working up to one minute. The second time you introduce a stretch, the stretch reflex will diminish, allowing your body to get deeper into your stretch and also building better muscle memory.”

Brit + Co

If you’re still worried about injuring yourself — especially if you’ve been injured in the past — Dr. Williams recommends seeing a physical therapist for guided stretches. Belland reminds us that you don’t have to go to the gym or spend hours on stretching. “Stretch a little bit every day when you can fit it in after a workout or in front of the TV. If you just don’t think you’ll stretch on your own, getting to a yoga or a barre class is helpful if you need the accountability of a dedicated time and space.”

Speaking of the gym, just as your phys ed teacher told you, stretching is especially important before and after a workout. “Far too often active individuals begin their workouts without a dynamic stretch,” Dr. Williams says. “Dynamic stretching increases one’s range of movement and blood flow to soft tissues prior to physical exertion and/or sport performance. This type of stretching is vital in improving performance and reducing the risk for injury.”

But you don’t have to be an athlete to benefit — in fact, stretching is an important antidote to all that sitting those of us with desk-based jobs tend to do. “Sitting at your desk all day can lead to decreased flexibility in hip flexors and hamstrings by keeping them in a shortened position for a prolonged period of time,” Dr. Williams warns. “Consider a standing desk or work station or taking several breaks throughout your work day to stand up and stretch.”

Instead of looking back on your kid-level flexibility as a long-ago dream, mix in a little bit of stretching into your new daily routine — especially if you work at a desk! You might never get your legs behind your head, but your older self will thank you for it. Check out The Best Time to Stretch During Your Workout for more!
