Are you getting enough fiber? The recommended amount for adults is 25-35 grams per day from food sources. 

Why fiber? It promotes healthy bacteria in the gut, helps control blood sugars, and promotes healthy bowel movements just to name a few good reasons to include it in your diet.

Fiber is most abundant in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. To increase your fiber try:

- Filling 1/2 your plate at lunch & dinner with non-starchy veggies & a 1/4 of your plate with starchy veggies

- Have fruits & veggies as snacks

- Replace refined grain products with whole grain. Look for "whole grain" or "whole wheat" listed as the first ingredient on products like breads and pasta.
