With a new year coming up the new year’s resolutions are already starting to form, and many of them center around shedding some excess weight and generally living better. Diet and exercise are huge components, not just for these particular resolutions but for overall healthy living. Dieting, however, can be tricky. With countless diets coming in and out of fashion it may be hard to find the right one for you, but one element that should likely be a constant is fiber. Fiber can not only help you lose weight by keeping you fuller for longer, it can help normalize your digestive system, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar, just to name a few of the many benefits. Here are some of the fiber-rich foods that can help you achieve a healthy body weight and live better.
Fruits and vegetables. Consisting mostly of fiber, water, and natural sugars, fruits and vegetables are absolutely perfect for snacking and contain the fiber you need to stay fit.
Beans and lentils. Another source of fiber, beans, lentils, and various other legumes are wonderful for hearty meals and make a great substitute for less healthy dinner options.
Oats. Perfect for breakfast as oatmeal or added to your favorite baked goods, oats are among the healthiest grains in the world and are an excellent source of fiber.
Almonds. An excellent snack, protein-packed and filled with good fats, almonds are a great source for the fiber your body needs.
