Get on the Bran Wagon

-------------------

One simple way to increase fiber intake is to power up on bran. Bran from many grains is very rich in dietary fiber. 

Oat bran is high in soluble fiber, which has been shown to lower blood cholesterol levels. 

Wheat, corn, and rice bran are high in insoluble fiber, which helps prevent constipation. 

Bran can be sprinkled into your favorite foods,from hot cereal and pancakes to muffins and cookies. 

Many popular high-fiber cereals and bars are also packed with bran.
