Fiber.... Grandma used to call it roughage, and most people need to eat more of it to achieve better dietary balance.
Fiber promotes a healthy digestive tract, help to prevent constipation and reduces the risk of hemorrhoids.
There are several different types of fiber, and you need to eat a variety of food to make sure you benefit from them all. Most of the fiber you eat comes from whole-grain products, and fruits and vegetables, particularly their skin.
Good Luck!
Merry Christmas!

Depends on what you are looking for?
Are you a vegetarian? A bread person?
Do you want a dessert?
Graham crackers for light dessert are a YES!
Whole wheat ones are even better!
