Fiber is an important part of good health^{1 - 3}

Wheat bran is one of nature’s richest sources of natural food fiber, recognized for its role in helping to maintain regularity.* For your overall good health, wheat bran is a natural choice.

• Most Americans only get 50% of the fiber they need.

The American Dietetic Association recommends 20-35 grams of fiber a day for adults.

Foods containing fiber are good sources of other essential nutrients. Dietary fiber is the term for several materials that make up the parts of plants your body can't digest. Fiber is classified as soluble or insoluble.^{1, 2}

Fruits, vegetables, whole-grain and fortified foods, beans and legumes are good sources of both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber.¹ Foods high in soluble fiber include oat bran, oatmeal, beans, peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits, strawberries and apple pulp.

Insoluble fiber is an important aid in normal bowel function. Foods high in insoluble fiber include whole-wheat breads, wheat cereals, wheat bran, rye, rice, barley, most other grains, cabbage, beets, carrots, Brussels sprouts, turnips, cauliflower and apple skin.^{1, 2}

Because our bodies cannot digest fiber, foods that are low in fat and high in fiber tend to be lower in calories as well. High fiber foods also add bulk to waste products in your body, which tends to create larger, softer stools that move more rapidly through the colon — an obvious help when maintaining regularity is a problem.

Many commercial oat bran and wheat bran products (muffins, chips, waffles) contain very little bran. They also may be high in sodium, total fat and saturated fat. Read labels carefully.² Click here for a list of the top 10 fiber foods.
