Fiber: What changes in our body when we consume it

Found primarily in plant foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, fiber is perhaps best known for its ability to prevent or relieve constipation. But fiber-rich foods can have other beneficial effects as well.

How does fiber benefit us?

When consumed in moderation, it helps maintain a healthy weight, while also reducing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and even some types of cancer.

Strengthens the heart

According to a scientific review, people who followed a high-fiber diet appeared to have a reduced risk of coronary heart disease and stroke by 7% to 24%.

How to increase their consumption

Prefer whole grains: Whole grains, such as oats and brown rice, are excellent sources of fiber, which can be the basis for your breakfast, lunch, or dinner, respectively.

Add nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds are good sources of fiber, ideal for snacks as well as meals. Almonds, for example, are an extremely popular choice. Enjoy them on their own or in salads, yogurt or oatmeal, but in moderation, as in addition to being nutritious, they are also calorie-dense.

Choose fruit for snacks: All fruits contain fiber, both soluble and insoluble. You can enjoy them as a snack or in combination with yogurt, oatmeal, or even in a smoothie.

Fill your plate with vegetables: Adding vegetables to every meal can increase your fiber intake./CNA
