The best way to improve our health is to start making healthy nutritional choices. Since obesity in America is not slowing down, and as American waistlines continue to expand, it might be helpful to discuss the benefits of a high fiber diet. Fiber has been well documented to maintain bowel function, reduce weight, improve insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular health, and play a role in the prevention of type II diabetes. Currently, less than a quarter of Americans eat the recommended amounts of fiber.

High fiber foods include fruits, vegetables, whole grain cereals, breads, nuts and seeds.
