Why Fiber is Crucial for Longevity: Your Secret Weapon at The LIFT Lounge®
Most people think of fiber as boring. But research from Harvard Health, Mayo Clinic, and the American Heart Association shows it plays a major role in lowering cholesterol, stabilizing blood sugar, supporting gut health, reducing inflammation, and increasing lifespan.¹²³
If you’re in your 50s, 60s, or 70s, you’ve tried it all — low carb, high protein, low fat — but still chase the same stubborn pounds or struggle with energy. Often, it’s not what you’re cutting out. It’s what you’re missing: fiber.
Why Fiber Isn’t Just About Digestion
Gut Health: It feeds beneficial bacteria that boost immunity, reduce inflammation, and even protect your brain.¹
Hormone Harmony: Slows digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and reduces insulin spikes — linked to belly fat and mood swings.²
Heart & Cholesterol: Soluble fiber binds to cholesterol and helps sweep it out, reducing heart disease risk.³
Longer Life: Studies consistently link high fiber diets to lower mortality rates.¹
Why Our Clients Need It Even More
Digestion slows with age, raising risks for bloating, constipation, and colon cancer.¹
Inflammation sabotages muscle gains — fiber helps keep it down so VRTA sessions pay off.
Years of low-carb or fad diets may starve the gut microbiome; strategic fiber rebuilds it.
