More About Fiber

There’s no doubt that this is one key to eating healthier and being more satisfied when you do eat. Pay attention to this in every recipe that you cook and every ingredient you choose.

For some folks this might take some getting used to. If you’ve been eating white bread all your life, you may have to try the lighter version of whole wheat bread before you transition to high fiber breads. It’s worth it though. Study after study is showing how important this is to living longer and living better.

Here’s a handy guide of ingredients for you to use that can help boost the fiber in your diet. Slowly replace the ingredients that you have on hand with the higher fiber alternative.
