The Many Benefits of Fiber
May 17, 2022
Did you know that fiber can boost your metabolism, give you energy and help in the fight against fat?
Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that the body can't digest, and because of that, it's vital to your health.
It's recommended that women get at least 25 grams of fiber each day to help with things like weight loss, digestive health and cancer prevention.
Here are some healthy options to increase your daily fiber intake:
1 medium pair = 6 grams of fiber
2 tablespoons of almond butter = 3 grams of fiber
1 slice whole-wheat bread = 3 grams of fiber
1 cup cooked oatmeal = 5 grams of fiber
1/2 cup cooked black beans = 12 grams of fiber
1 cup raspberries = 8 grams of fiber
1 medium sweet potato = 6 grams of fiber
1 cup cooked lentils = 15 grams of fiber
Some other easy ways to eat more fiber include:
Trade 3 cups of popped popcorn, which contains four grams of fiber for cookies and chips
Make your own trail mix from a combination of raw whole almonds and dried unsweetened cranberries. A small 1-ounce handful will give you 3 to 4 grams of fiber
Add beans to side dishes, soups and salads or make a dip for veggies.
Choose fruits that supply a good amount of fiber, such as pears, apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries and raspberries
Start your day with a 1 1/2-cup bowl of oatmeal to get 6 grams of heart-healthy fiber. Stir in raspberries and nuts as a topper to add even more fiber.
Which foods will you try to increase your daily fiber intake? Be sure to increase your fiber slowly to avoid stomach trouble.
