| This recipe is packed with fiber. Fiber is
the part of plant foods that your body can't
digest. Beans, most fruits and vegetables,
whole grain products, and nuts and seeds
are good sources of fiber. Soluble fiber can
help lower cholesterol. It also slows down
digestion so that the body can absorb more
nutrients and better control blood sugar
levels. Insoluble fiber helps you get rid of
waste and keeps you regular.
