The Importance of Fiber for Digestive & Heart Health

Fiber is an essential part of a balanced diet and plays an important role in digestive wellness and heart health. It helps maintain regularity, supports healthy cholesterol levels, and promotes steady energy throughout the day.

Good sources of fiber include vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, and legumes. Most adults should aim for approximately 25–38 grams daily, but many people do not reach this goal.

Gradually increasing fiber intake and drinking adequate water can help your body adjust comfortably.

If you have questions about fiber-rich foods or supplement options, our pharmacists are happy to provide guidance.
