Fiber is abundant in plants such as cereals, lentils, beans, vegetables, and fruits. For adults, the body needs about 25-28 g of fiber per day (women) and about 25-38 g (men). Depending on age, the amount of fiber needed to enter the body can change. Foods rich in fiber help the body laxatively and prevent constipation.
Fiber does not directly lead to weight loss, but it creates a feeling of fullness that can reduce the tendency to overeat, helping to prevent hunger between meals, and people can avoid adding high-calorie foods to their diet.
