The Food and Drug Administration defines “high fiber” as one serving of a food that has at least 5 grams of dietary fiber. The recommendation is that we eat about 25 grams of dietary fiber per day.
The average American only eats between 10 and 15 grams per day. Make sure your diet is rich in high-fiber cereals, whole-grain crackers and breads, and beans, vegetables and fruit. Eating these foods boosts fiber intake and appears to aid with weight management and in lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugars and some cancer risks.
