Fiber, Where we could find it?

There are a few easy ways to make sure you are eating enough fiber. When purchasing pre-made foods, look for ones labeled “High Fiber”. They must contain 5 grams or fiber per serving to be labeled as such.

Look for breads, cereals and crackers that are made with 100% whole grains. Anything made with refined flour means the outer shell that contains the fiber was removed. Also, look for whole-wheat pastas and brown rice.

Eat whole fruits and vegetables rather than drinking fruit and vegetable juices. These will help to fill you up more without providing extra calories and sugar. The best fruits to eat that contain four or more grams of fiber per serving are apples with the skin on, bananas, blueberries, grapefruit, pears, raspberries and strawberries. Other good fruits are apricots, figs, oranges and peaches.

The best fiber containing vegetables are avocados, beet greens, brussel sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, corn, green beans, kale, peas, potatoes and squash.

Beans, whether eaten in soups, stews, salads, burritos or any other way are good sources of fiber. Most beans contain between ten and fifteen grams of fiber per cup. The best fiber containing nuts are almonds, pistachios and walnuts.

As with any healthy diet, especially a fiber-rich one, it’s very important to drink lots of water to help remove waste and expel it from your system. An added bonus of a high fiber diet is feeling satisfied, thus helping you maintain or lose weight. No more excuses for not getting nature’s cleaner working for you.
