What do all health professionals agree will help you keep your weight down, lower your "bad" cholesterol and protect you from some very serious chronic diseases? The prescription that you eat a diet with at least 25 grams of fiber daily!
A diet that's full of healthy soluble and insoluble fiber may be protective against some cancers, such as colon cancer, and can help prevent heart disease. Fiber promotes regularity and helps avoid intestinal problems like diverticulosis, irritable bowel syndrome and constipation.
