Fiber is a vital component of a healthy diet. It promotes good bacteria in the gut, balances blood sugar levels, and regulates the digestive system. Many of us think we don’t eat enough fiber, even though loads of common food that we see every day are high in it. Here are some easy-to-find high fiber foods that you see every day.
Bananas
Not only delicious and high in fiber, but bananas are also packed full of Vitamin C, Vitamin C, and potassium. If you want an extra hit of protein too, eat your banana while it is still green and unripe.
Avocado
High in fiber, avocados are also full of vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B, magnesium, potassium and much more. Eat it on toast or in a fresh salad.
Pears
One of the most common fruits to grace the supermarket shelves, pears are a great source of fiber as well.
Chickpeas
Loaded with fiber, protein, calcium, and much more, chickpeas are a wonderful food to incorporate into the diet. We recommend eating them in a delicious curry with tomato and eggplant.
Lentils
High in both fiber and protein, lentils are one of the cheapest foods you find—and also one of the healthiest. A bowl of lentils a day can certainly help keep the doctor away.
