  • So, what exactly is fiber?
    • Anita B
      Anita B on 09 Feb 12
       
      Fiber is found in plants and are the carbohydrates that cannot be digested.
  • Sometimes, a distinction is made between soluble fiber and insoluble fiber: Soluble fiber partially dissolves in water and has been shown to lower cholesterol. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water, but that's why it helps with constipation

      Fiber itself doesnt have any calories. A sufficient amount of fiber helps prevent constipations and helps the movement of food through one's digestive system!
  • Snacks and Treats: Bake cookies or muffins using whole-wheat flour instead of white. Add raisins, berries, bananas, or chopped or pureed apples to the mix for even more fiber. Add bran to baking items such as cookies and muffins. Top whole-wheat crackers with peanut butter or low-fat cheese. Go easy on the butter and salt and enjoy popcorn while watching TV or movies. Top ice cream, frozen yogurt, or regular yogurt with whole-grain cereal, berries, or almonds for some added nutrition and crunch. Try apples topped with peanut butter
