Fiber multitasks for better health by lowering cholesterol, cutting cancer risk, boosting fullness, and easing constipation. Yet only 5 percent of Americans hit the 25 to 38 grams recommended daily.
Raspberries stand out as the highest whole-food fiber source, perfect for bridging that gap.
“The easiest thing to do is go buy a ton of raspberries, put them in your fridge and have half a cup with breakfast and have half a cup as an afternoon snack,” says Caroline Susie, registered dietitian.
“Eating enough fiber on a daily basis is pivotal for overall health,” says registered dietitian Natalie Rizzo.
Raspberries shine alone, atop yogurt or oatmeal, blended in smoothies, or tossed in salads. Opt for fresh in summer or nutritious frozen anytime for affordability.
Snack on raspberries daily to effortlessly enhance your fiber intake and vitality.
