1. Beans

Reaching the recommended amount of fiber daily seems to be quite difficult for most Americans, and the struggle gets only bigger as we age. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, women should consume at least 25 grams of fiber per day, while men 38 grams.

Fiber is responsible for many things. From controlling blood sugar levels to reducing the risk of colon cancer, fiber has a ton of tasks. Studies suggest that in your 40s, you’re more prone to be diagnosed with colon cancer than in your 20s or 30s.

Get your daily fiber from beans! A cooked cup has approximately 15 grams of fiber. In fact, beans are one of the best sources of fiber out there. Plus, they promote good bacteria in your gut, regulating inflammation and boosting the immune system.
