From Jennifer Moll, your Guide to Cholesterol
There's been a lot of news lately about the benefits of adding fiber to your diet -- with good reason. Adding fiber to your diet has many healthy advantages, such as improving your digestive health and making you feel fuller after meals. Another added benefit is that high fiber foods are also cholesterol-friendly.

How Much Fiber Do You Need to Eat Each Day?
Studies have shown that consuming certain types of fiber can help you to slightly lower your cholesterol. There are certain dietary recommendations in place that ensure you get plenty of fiber in your diet -- without overdoing it.

Do All Types of Fiber Lower Cholesterol?
Eating high fiber foods has been a very popular topic in the news. But what you may not know is that there are two main types of fiber: insoluble fiber and soluble fiber. One of these types can help lower your cholesterol, whereas the other type of fiber has other healthy benefits.

Sources Of Soluble Fiber For Lowering Your Cholesterol
Including foods high in soluble fiber can play an important role in lowering cholesterol and reducing your risk of heart disease. While there are many foods -- especially fruits and vegetables -- that contain fiber, some foods contain a higher amount of soluble fiber than other foods.

Can I Use Fiber Supplements to Lower My Cholesterol?
In some cases, you might feel that it's impossible to get all of the fiber you need in a day. This is when fiber supplements -- much like the ones you see on the digestive health aisle of the grocery store or pharmacy -- may seem tempting to take. But do they really work as well as consuming fiber-rich foods?
