There are many foods that are high in fiber, including fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. Some high-fiber foods include flax seeds, chia seeds, apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, beans, lentils, and whole, unrefined grains such as oats, quinoa, and brown rice. Fiber is beneficial for gut health, weight management, and reducing the risk of heart disease and other chronic conditions. To increase your fiber intake, aim to consume at least 25 grams per day and increase it to a maximum of 70 grams per day. Too much fiber can have adverse effects including gas and bloating, so it's important to increase your intake gradually. Include a variety of high-fiber foods in your diet to ensure you're getting all the benefits fiber has to offer.
