Eat Some Fiber Today

So I read this article on fiber and well, I overlook this nutrient a little bit. So I'm sharing the guts of it...
"Some good general rules of thumb for upping your intake include:
*Choose more fruits with edible seeds, skins, and membranes, including apples, raspberries, and oranges.
*Reach for veggies with tough stalks and edible skin, such as artichokes and broccoli.
*Opt for whole rather than refined grains. Oats, barley, quinoa, brown and wild rice, and 100% whole-wheat versions of bread, pasta, and crackers are good options.
*Replace meat with beans or lentils at least five times a week.
*Snack on nuts and seeds, or use them to garnish salads, stir-fries, cereal, and yogurt.
*** Oh, and one more thing: As you increase your fiber intake, be sure to drink plenty of extra water."
