High Fiber Diets = Better Health
Whole grains, legumes and certain fruits and vegetables provide dietary fiber that supports good digestive health and aids in managing cholesterol, blood sugar and weight loss. While supplements can help, nutrient-rich foods are the best source for boosting fiber intake. Aim for 25 grams per day for women and 38 grams for men up to age 50. If you're over 50, aim for 21 and 30 grams, respectively.
- Replace white bread, flour and pasta with whole grain options.
- Add beans, dried peas and lentils to casseroles, soups and pasta dishes.
- Choose fresh fruits and veggies like apples, berries, broccoli, eggplant, cauliflower, and zucchini
- Increase your intake of nuts and seeds such as chia, walnuts and almonds for protein as well as fiber.
