Dietary fiber (dietary fibre, roughage) is an essential nutrient required for
proper digestion of foods, proper functioning of the digestive tract at large,
and for helping you feel full. A deficiency of fiber can lead to constipation,
hemorrhoids, and elevated levels of cholesterol and sugar in the blood.
Conversely, an excess of fiber can lead to a bowel obstruction, diarrhea, or
even dehydration. Individuals who increase their intake of fiber,
should in turn, also increase their intake for water.
The current RDA for dietary fiber is 25 grams.
Below is a list of foods rich in fiber.
