If you’re eating healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, oats, and beans, you’re also eating valuable fiber. (Some cereals have a decent amount of fiber as well.) The combination of fiber and water helps move food easily through your system without putting too much pressure on your intestines. Doctors recommend that men get 35 grams a day and women 25 grams.

The other often-overlooked benefit of eating fiber-rich foods and being well hydrated is that the combination makes you feel full. Eating too much in general and eating too much of the wrong foods lead to obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and a variety of related problems.
