| There
are two kinds of dietary fiber, soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber helps
your digestive system function. Many doctors and dietitians recommend fiber
as part of daily health. |

together with a low fat, low cholesterol diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol.

should include source of both types of fiber. Dry beans, grains, vegetables,
and fruits have both soluble and insoluble fiber. |
