Dietary fiber is fundamental to the digestion process. There are two types of fiber —soluble or insoluble—, which have different but positive effects on the gastrointestinal transit.
Consequently, consuming foods with high amounts of fiber helps to combat and prevent symptoms of constipation and similar digestive problems.
Among the foods richest in fiber, we can highlight legumes such as lentils, fruits such as plums, vegetables such as cauliflower, nuts such as almonds and cereals such as rice, especially whole grain.
