| Overview Food Sources Recommendations Side Effects |
| Food Sources: |
| Vegetables, fruits (especially dried fruits) and some cereals such as whole wheat, bran or oatmeal are excellent sources of fiber. It is easy to remember that the harder a vegetable is (like celery), the more fiber it has. To reap the benefits of fiber, however, it is very important to drink an adequate amount of water to help with the passage of stool in the intestines. |
