Understanding Fiber
Fiber is a type of carbohydrate your body does not fully digest. It supports digestion and fullness.
Beans, lentils, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds are good sources.
Increase fiber gradually and drink fluids along with it.
Some USDA records do not report fiber; this site shows that as unavailable instead of zero.
Practical examples
- Swap white bread for whole wheat bread.
- Add chia or flax seeds to oats.
