Fiber is essential for digestion, blood sugar balance, and
heart health — and luckily, plant-based foods are loaded with it.
Fiber promotes a feeling of fullness, which can aid in
weight management by reducing overeating. Found in fruits, vegetables, legumes,
whole grains, nuts, and seeds, fiber-rich foods are key to disease prevention
and long-term vitality. Including a variety of these foods daily can
significantly improve your digestive health and reduce the risk of chronic
conditions.
