Dietary fiber aids in preventing cholesterol from collecting in your arteries and making dangerous blockages that can tend to a stroke or heart attack, per the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Consuming whole-grain foods, like fresh vegetables, fruit, whole wheat, bran, oats, and quinoa, provides you valuable fiber that gives protection to your heart and gives you feeling your best. Avoid simple carbohydrates, like cookies, cakes, products made with processed foods, and white flour, which are mostly low in fiber and sometimes rich in added sugar and fat.
