Up your fiber intake to 20-35 grams per day and decrease your likelihood of heart disease by more than 60 percent. One cup of black beans and brown rice puts you over the minimum requirement – as does two slices whole grain bread (at least 7 grams per slice – check the label), an apple, 1/2 cup berries, and two one half cup servings of vegetables.
