The current American diet averages only about 10 grams of dietary fiber. Interestingly enough, studies have shown that intakes of 25 to 40 grams may significantly reduce the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, colon cancer, and other intestinal disorders. NOW is pleased to offer the following sources of 100% natural fiber as a means of maintaining natural regularity and overall good health.
An ideal amount of fiber can be obtained daily from the following foods: Six servings of whole grain breads and cereals (one serving = one slice of bread, 1/2 cup cooked pasta, rice, or cereal, or 1 cup high-fiber cold cereal), Four to nine servings of fresh fruits and vegetables (one serving = one piece of fruit, 1 cup raw vegetables, or 1/2 cup cooked vegetables), One serving of dried beans (one serving = 1/2 cup).
