  1. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This old saying could hardly ring more true today, as Americans are finally beginning to realize the critical health benefits of a diet rich in dietary fiber.

    Fiber protects you from heart disease, cancer, and digestive problems and, depending on the type of fiber, it lowers cholesterol, helps with weight control, and regulates blood sugar. In order to get the full benefits of fiber, we need to consume at least 25 grams a day from a variety of sources.
