Fit more fiber into your diet
By Mayo Clinic staff
Fiber is probably best known for its ability to help with constipation. But fiber also can lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease. How can you get more fiber? Choose cereals with 'bran' or 'fiber' in the name. Switch to whole-grain breads and pastas. Use brown rice, barley and bulgur instead of plain white rice. And mix chopped frozen broccoli into prepared spaghetti sauce. Just remember: Drink plenty of water since fiber works best when it absorbs water.
