Fiber is a key nutrient to promote regularity and digestive health. Women should aim for 25 gram of fiber per day and men 38 grams.

Here are a list of everyday foods to help reach your fiber goals :

1 cup raspberries- 8 grams

1/2 cup cooked lentils/black beans- 7.5 grams

1 cup bran flakes- 6 grams

1 tablespoon Chia seeds- 5 grams

1 medium pear- 5.5 grams
