Fiber is Your Friend

We need 25 - 30 grams of REAL fiber per day. There is only one true way to get fiber - eat plant foods. Plants such as fruits, seeds, whole grains and vegetables are quality carbohydrates that are loaded with fiber. Studies show an increased risk for heart disease with low-fiber diets. There is also evidence to suggest that fiber in the diet may also help to prevent colon cancer and promote weight control.
