Fuentes alimenticias:

Las verduras, las frutas (en especial las secas) y algunos cereales (trigo entero, el salvado de trigo o la avena) son excelentes fuentes de fibra. Es fácil recordar que cuanto más dura sea la verdura como por ejemplo el apio, más fibra contiene. Sin embargo, los beneficios de la fibra se obtienen con un adecuado consumo de agua que ayude al paso de las heces a través del intestino.
