Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eating more fruits and vegetables and not removing the edible peels is the best choice as it provides a natural and safe way to increase fiber intake. Enriched grains may not contain as much fiber as whole grains and may also be high in added sugars and salt. Bran and fiber supplements may cause digestive discomfort and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Simply buying products labeled wheat flour may not guarantee a high fiber content.
