If you  are constipated chronically, of course you should ask your doctor about it.  One very common cause of constipation is lack of fiber. Take a few minutes to learn and feel better for life!

Maintaining a high fiber intake is essential to your heath and well-being, but at first it can be difficult to integrate high fiber foods into your daily diet. With time it will become more natural, but there are a few things you can do to make it easier to get enough fiber every day. The most important thing is to know which foods are the best sources of fiber.

Which foods have the most fiber?

Insoluble fiber can be found in whole grains (such as whole wheat bread, barley, and brown rice), chic peas, wheat bran, kidney beans, broccoli, celery, apples and pears (with the skin on), bananas, potatoes (with the skin) oranges and corn.

Soluble fiber is present in legumes, fruits, potatoes (with the skin) and certain grains.
