Top 35 High-Fiber Foods to Help Your Digestive Health

7) Lentils

Legumes should be on top of the list if you’re serious about getting your daily share of fiber. Besides fiber, lentils are very rich in iron, and they are commonly recommended in patients with anemia. The type of fiber in this legume will stabilize your blood sugar level because it slows down the absorption and prevents violent peaks of glycemia and insulin.

You will get around 7.8 grams of fiber after eating only ½ a cup of cooked lentils. Most people eat them in soups and stews. Lentils go well with a variety of vegetables, potatoes, and curry dishes.
