Fiber is a vital nutrient found in plant-based foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. It is categorized into two types: soluble fiber, which dissolves in water and helps lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels, and insoluble fiber, which aids digestion and supports regular bowel movements. Commonly associated with vegetarian and whole-food diets, fiber is essential in cuisines worldwide, from lentils in Indian dishes to oats in Western breakfasts. Eating high-fiber foods promotes heart health, assists in weight management by enhancing satiety, and helps prevent digestive issues like constipation. While fiber is highly beneficial, overconsumption or sudden increases in intake may lead to bloating or gastrointestinal discomfort. A balanced approach—combined with adequate water consumption—ensures optimal health benefits without unwanted side effects.
