the foods you choose to eat really can help you reclaim health!

Nutrition Facts

The nutrition facts state
you do not digest or absorb dietary fiber.
But you really do get great nutrition for
good health from high fiber foods.

An elephant naturally knows that plant-based food sources provide both good nutrition and fiber. A fact some humans seem to forget.

To help you remember, use these nutrition charts!

Look at the variety of vitamins and minerals you get from these high fiber food groups:

Vegetables

Legumes (Beans and Peas)

Fruits

Nuts

Whole Grains

The high-in-fiber plant-based foods are naturally full of vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, and important phytonutrients. Your body uses these nutrients to grow cells, tissues, bones, and muscles. That makes the high fiber diet a powerful tool for your good health.

The soluble type of fiber in food provides a prebiotic benefit, too!
