What you eat can reduce the risks of getting certain diseases, including breast and colorectal cancers. Various studies have found that high-fiber diets do just that. If you eat five to seven servings of fruits or vegetables a day, you'll hit the recommended daily target of 25 to 35 grams of fiber. Use this fiber-rich foods list as a guide.
In keeping with February's theme of Valentine's Day, you might try to eat red foods, such as strawberries, raspberries, red sweet peppers and tomatoes.
If you do not eat enough fiber right now, add foods or a fiber supplement (like Konsyl Easy Mix, Konsyl Original) to your diet, but go slowly. Adding too much fiber too quickly could cause bloating. Strive to add 5 extra grams per week until you reach the target. These simple changes that add fiber to your diet will get you there.
