Adding more fiber to daily meals is one of the easiest ways to keep your digestion running smoothly and your whole body working at its best.

The best way to boost daily fiber is through foods like beans, vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Not only do these high fiber foods help you feel full longer, they also support a healthy digestive system.
