High Fiber Diet : Add Fibers to Diet

It is very important to add fibers in diet. You can make a high fiber diet by adding fibers in your diet.

• Use two servings of fiber containing foods at each meal as a general rule. You should know about foods high in fiber.
• Avoid refined food items like white breads and cereals, purchase whole-grain variety. Instead of refined flour (maida), use whole grain flour, wheat bran or oat bran.
• Buy fresh fruits and vegetables and eat them raw and unpeeled whenever possible.
• Drink lots of fluids. Water helps fiber work. Without enough water, insoluble fiber can block the digestive system, resulting in constipation.
• Do not substitute juice for fruits. Juice is not a good source of fiber, eat high fiber fruits.
• Exercise regularly. Fibers will not do miracle. Physical activity is essential.
