Why is a fiber-rich diet recommended?

High Fiber Diet

A high fiber diet is associated with decreased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, and even obesity. Fiber is found only in plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Most adults only consume half the recommended 25-35 grams of fiber each day. Including fiber-rich leafy green vegetables in your food choices will help boost fiber intake.
