In order to help share healthy contents to increase vegetable intake and take advantage of their nutrients, it is recommended to consume fruits, vegetables, nuts, cereals, tubers and legumes rich in fiber.
One aspect to keep in mind is that regular consumption of vegetable fiber helps our body to control weight gain, since fiber provides volume to the diet, which triggers a feeling of satiety.
▶ Among the main vegetables rich in fiber are wheat, sweet potato, corn, peanuts, oats, coconut, plum, carrot, lemon, orange and legumes. It is important to mention that people who do not have a regular consumption of fiber, but who wish to incorporate fiber intake in their daily diet, should include it in moderate amounts, since an excessive consumption of fiber can cause an increase in gas and stomach disorders.
