New high-fiber meal plan promotes healthy digestion
A new 7-day meal plan designed to promote healthy digestion has been created by a dietitian. This plan is high in fiber and easy to follow, aimed at helping with regular bowel movements. Each day includes a variety of meals and snacks, such as tofu scramble for breakfast, salmon rice bowls for dinner, and chia pudding as a late-night snack. The meals are balanced in calories and nutrients. For instance, on Day 1, the meal plan includes tofu scramble with blueberries for breakfast, black bean tostadas for lunch, and a salmon rice bowl for dinner. Daily total calories vary between 1,500 to 2,000 depending on modifications. The meal plan also provides options for adjusting portions based on personal calorie needs. Omission of snacks can lower caloric intake, while adding certain ingredients can increase it. In addition, the guide emphasizes simple habits to improve digestion. Staying hydrated is important, as water helps soften stools. Regular physical activity, like walking, can also aid digestion. It's recommended to increase fiber gradually, as sudden changes can cause discomfort. The plan invites users to mix and match meals to suit their tastes while maintaining a high-fiber diet.
