<p>You probably know on some level that fiber is good for you—but do you know why? Fiber is essential when it comes to maintaining healthy digestion (and also offers a long list of even more good-for you benefits). According to current <a href="https://health.gov/sites/default/files/2019-09/2015-2020_Dietary_Guidelines.pdf"target="_blank">dietary guidelines</a>, women should aim for about 28 grams of fiber per day and men should get about 34 grams. Thankfully, getting your recommended daily fiber dose is easy when you stock your pantry with Thrive Market’s high-fiber foods, incorporate fruits and veggies into your diet regularly, and opt for more fiber-rich ingredients when cooking and baking. Here’s a closer look at what makes fiber so fantastic. </p>

<h2>What Is Fiber?</h2>

<p>Dietary fiber includes the parts of plant-based carbohydrates (such as fruit, veggies, legumes, and whole grains) that the body cannot fully digest. Yet it actually serves a crucial dietary function—to help move food through digestive tract and take toxins and waste along with it. By doing so, fiber enables healthy digestion and regular bowel movements. </p>

<h2>Benefits of Eating High-Fiber Foods</h2>

<p>Beyond tasting delicious, foods that are high in fiber can have a variety of health-boosting benefits. Here are a few you can expect when you add more fiber into your diet:</p>
<br>
<ul>
<li>Digestive support</li>
<li>Detoxifying effects </li>
<li>More sustained energy</li>
<li>Healthy <a href="https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/69/1/30/4694117"target="_blank">cholesterol</a> support</li>
<li><a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/making-one-change-getting-fiber-can-help-weight-loss-201502177721"target="_blank">Weight loss</a> and weight management support </li>
</ul>

<p>Research suggests high-fiber diets may also be associated with a reduced risk of developing:</p>

<li><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1713264/"target="_blank">Certain cancers</a></li>
</ul>

<h2>Tips for Eating High Fiber</h2>

<p>Get more fiber into each meal with these easy tips:</p><br>
<ul>
<li>Taco night? Opt for beans over meat.</li>
<li>Start the day with oatmeal. </li>
<li>Enjoy plant-based snacks like fruit with nut butter, veggies and hummus, or popcorn.</li>
<li>Go for whole grain bread over white. </li>
<li>Try adding a fiber supplement to your diet. </li>
<li>Bake with high-fiber flours instead of all-purpose. </li>
</ul>
