A diet rich in fiber can help fight obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The Seven Countries Study found that people living in countries with high fiber intake weighed less than those living in countries where fiber intake is low. In the famous Nurses’ Health Study, those who ingested more dietary fiber consistently weighed less than those who consumed less fiber. Another study linked higher dietary fiber intake with lower body weight and waist-to-hip ratios, along with a reduction in markers of heart disease risk. Higher fiber consumption predicted less weight gain more strongly than did total or saturated fat consumption.
