Can fiber help with constipation?

The short answer is yes. When consumed in the recommended amounts, dietary fiber is celebrated for its health benefits, including relief from constipation.

But how much fiber is enough?
Adult women 50 and under should consume at least 25 grams of fiber per day, while women 51 and older are encouraged to eat 21 grams of fiber per day.

Meanwhile, adult men 50 and under should consume at least 38 grams of fiber per day, while men 51 and older are encouraged to eat 30 grams of fiber per day.

Since the U.S. population consumes just 15 grams of fiber per day on average, now is the time to up your intake of fibrous foods. These include delicious fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.

3 tips to treat eye strain

1. Use proper lighting.
Eye strain often is caused by excessively bright light either from outdoor sunlight coming in through a window or from harsh interior lighting.
2. Minimize glare.
Glare from light reflecting off walls and finished surfaces, as well as reflections on your computer screen also can cause computer eye strain.
3. Blink more often.
Blinking is very important when working at a computer; it moistens your eyes to prevent dryness and irritation.

Concerned about the amount of time your child is spending on their device?

Here are some strategies that may help:

• Hold yourself accountable.
Either alone or with loved ones, commit to keeping your screen time under a specific number of hours each day.
