Fiber is an important component of any healthy diet. It helps keep us “regular” (in terms of our digestive system) and reduces our risk of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and cancer.

Partly, this is due to the fact that high fiber foods are unprocessed and high in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. As a bonus, many of them taste great as well.

If you’re not sure how to get more fiber into your diet, check out some of the recipes below.

I’ve also included a list of 25 high fiber foods. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds are all great sources of fiber.
