Dietary fiber can fill you up (without weighing you down), help keep blood-sugar levels in check, and may lower your risk for chronic diseases like certain cancers and cardiovascular disease. But even though fiber is widely available in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole, unprocessed grains, most people get very little of the stuff. The US Dietary Guidelines set adequate intake for fiber at 25 grams (g) a day for women and 38 g a day for men. However, most people are getting half of that, with the average intake clocking in at 15 g. The good news: Not only is boosting your fiber intake easy but it's tasty too!
