Fiber Rich Fruits

You all know what fiber is and why our body needs it, I am going to refresh your thoughts about this.
Fiber, the very important substance a body needs from the beginning of the digestion process till the end. This will slow down the digestion and absorption process and reduces the obesity. This will also helps to even the blood sugar level.

Fruits rich in fiber content are:
Raspberries
Blackberries
Figs, dried
Avocado

Their nutrition values are

Raspberries (123 g):
• Fiber 32%
• Vitamin C 54%
• Iron 5%
• Vitamin A 1%
• Calcium 3%

Blackberries (144g)
• Fiber 31%
• Vitamin C 50%
• Iron 5%
• Vitamin A 6%
• Calcium 4%

Figs, dried, (149g) (This has more sugars 71g)
• Fiber 58%
• Vitamin C 3%
• Iron 17%
• Calcium 24%

Avocados (150g) (please be aware Saturated fat is 16% and total fat is 34%)
• Fiber 40%
• Vitamin C 25%
• Vitamin A 4%
• Iron 5%
• Calcium 2%

The most important issue with human health is overweight which leads to many other complicated diseases. The intake of more dietary fiber foods will reduce these health problems.

Happy and Healthy living!!!
