How Much Fiber is in That: Vegetables
All this talk about fiber. We all know we should be getting enough - at least 25 grams of fiber each day.
Getting this much will help lower your risk of heart disease, as well as some types of cancer and type 2 diabetes.

It turns out that including at least 30 g of fiber in your diet not only helps prevent breast cancer, but a new study also says that it could also reduce your risk for ovarian cancer by 40 percent.
Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cancer killer of women. About 20,000 women in the U.S.
Learn to Love: Celery
I used to think of celery as a rather dull vegetable. But lately, I've cultivated a new appreciation for its flavor and function. I've heard that you actually burn more calories chewing celery than you consume by eating it, which is almost true.

One vegetable delight of Autumn is the Brussels sprout. These small leafy balls are packed with fiber as well as taste, and they deserve a place at your Thanksgiving table.
My favorite method of cooking Brussels sprouts is to roast them.
Healthy Eating Tip: Don't Eliminate, Elaborate!
When approaching health and fitness, many of us have the mentality that less is more. While this may be a healthy perspective to avoid overeating and practice portion control, a restrictive diet can wreak havoc on your mood and leave you wondering whether there’s anything out there you can eat.

It can be hard to find healthy foods that don't break the bank — as I've mentioned before, nutrition often comes with a high price tag. A new tool may be what consumers need to find the biggest health bang for their buck.
The Affordable Nutrition Index (ANI) is a rating system that evaluates food based on its health and price value, and over 300 foods were evaluated and given a nutrition-value-per-dollar score.
Product Review: Greens First
I try my absolute best to eat five to nine servings of fruit and veggies a day but sometimes I fall short. I also find that sometimes it's hard for me to digest all that roughage. I talked to my nutritionist about this problem and she recommended Greens First — a megablend powder that contains super foods, organic fruits and vegetables, probiotics, fiber, enzymes, and more.
