There’s a whole bunch of reasons why fiber is good for us! On the short list, it can help lower cholesterol, control blood sugar, and helps our bodies get rid of waste. Another BIG reason why fiber is good for us is because it helps curb our hunger and keeps us feeling full longer. Your sources of fiber include fruits, vegetables, cereals, grains, and pastas, as well as beans, seeds, and nuts. The reason these foods help keep you feeling full is because they take longer to digest. Here’s Figure Friendly Club’s list of high fiber foods! You’ll want to incorporate a variety of these into your diet.
