“You can’t force love, I realized. It’s there or it isn’t. If it’s not there, you’ve got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you’ve got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love.” 
― Richelle Mead, Frostbite

I love the moments of life that absolutely dwarf you. That show you where you fit and how small you are. That remind you that we are specks of dust caught up in a tornado and we never even know we are spinning.

Eating high-fiber foods helps you stay fuller longer, keeps you regular, and boosts colon health. Getting enough fiber can be a challenge, but one certainly worth taking on. We at Two Sexy Veggies love Dr. Oz, check out this list of high-fiber heavyweights.

Vegetables 

• Artichokes, 10g of fiber 
• Broccoli, 5g of fiber per cup
• Brussel sprouts, 4 grams of fiber per cup 

High-Fiber Food Facts: Artichokes are number 7 on the USDA’s list of antioxidant-rich foods. They also increase the bile flow in the liver, which helps with the digestion of high-fat meals, and may lower cholesterol. 

Grains

• Bulgur, 8g of fiber per cup
• Quinoa, 5g of fiber per cup 
• Brown rice, 4g of fiber per cup 

High-Fiber Food Facts: Bulgur is cracked wheat and a staple of the Mediterranean diet. It’s a good vegetarian source of protein. It may help reduce the risk of heart disease and is the perfect addition to a low glycemic index diet.

Beans 

• Navy beans, 19g of fiber per cup 
• Garbanzo beans, 13g of fiber per cup 
• Kidney beans, 13g of fiber per cup 

High-Fiber Food Facts: Navy beans are high in magnesium, which lowers your blood pressure. Also, navy beans are an excellent source of folic acid; one serving will give you almost 2/3 of your daily value.

• Prunes, 12g of fiber per cup
