Fiber: The Nutrition Source

Choose a fiber-filled diet, rich in whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.

Confused by fiber? Well, you're not alone. Not a bad package deal. When you eat a healthy diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, and fruits, you usually get most of the fiber you'll need, which means you'll also be lowering your risk of diabetes, heart disease, diverticulitis, and constipation. But you don't have to know all the ins and outs of fiber to get benefit from it. Most people are.

Great sources are whole fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads and breakfast cereals, and all manner of beans. Most adult women should shoot for over 30 grams. Officially, fiber is a type of carbohydrate that the body can't digest.
