Looking for simple ways to add fiber to your diet? Fiber helps keep your digestive system healthy, slows down absorption of sugars in your diet, and helps to control cholesterol. Here are some easy ways to increase the amount of fiber in your diet without making any drastic dietary changes:

• Eat an orange rather than drinking just the juice. The pulp contains the fiber.
• Eat all of that apple. Eat whole fruits. The seeds and skin contain the fiber you need.
• Don't peel your potatoes. Rather than pealing your potatoes, include the skins - that is also where much of the nutrition is found.
• Buy whole grain breads. Whole grains contain the fiber that is normally processed out of white flour.
• Add more vegetables to your beef stew. Meat doesn't contain any fiber, so add a few more vegetables or even some beans to your stew to improve the fiber content.
