Hey, first post, hope this is correct section.
I'm 16 and for two weeks after thanks giving I was constipated and I got so tired of it I just decided to eat fiber everyday. [Raisin bran 25% daily fiber = 1 serving]
It made me pass gas, alot, and I wonderd if I even need 100% daily fiber.
So recently I stoped eating the cereal, and everything seems Ok, just wondering if I should always eat fiber, alot of it.

And a question about staying healthy.
If I dont spefically eat healthy [Arizona ice tea] will fiber help me? The way I thought it worked was, if I eat not-so-great, any extra garbage in me would just get sent out alot faster due to fiber so there wouldnt be any build ups of bad stuff, but my friend told me it still effects me in the long run. I thought food was just energy, you use it, then your done with it. . . Though I know like alcohol would cause liver problems but I didnt think normal food caused long-term life expectancy differences..

Basically.. Lots of fiber, and I figured keeping arteries clear so your heart could chill, and you'd be fine. . Yes? No? 'Cuz eating healthy is expensive.. I could get a meal with 2$ at wendys or something. [I know.. fast food = X_X ]

Anyways I'm done rambling.. Healthy tips?
