Hi Rishamkhan. Welcome to MyLot. You're right, fiber is very good for our health, and we should be sure to get enough of it each day. The best sources of fiber are beans, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds. And these foods are usually yummy, as well. Thank you for reminding us of the importance of fiber in a healthy diet :) Karen
