# The Creator’s Basic Food Groups – Part 3

In *“The Great Physician’s Rx for Health and Wellness”*, Jordan Rubin breaks down the food groups into what we need to know most, and what we’ve missed the mark on with fad diets.

**Fiber**: indigestible remnants of plant cells from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, & beans

- Promotes colon health if found in low-carbohydrate, high-fiber foods (broccoli, cauliflower, soaked/sprouted seeds, nuts, grains, berries, celery, greens, & fruits)
- Not enough fiber increases time for the colon to eliminate (think glue stuck on colon walls blocking vitamin/mineral absorption)
- Soluble (oatmeal, nuts & seeds, beans apples, pears, strawberries, & blueberries
- Insoluble – reduces risk of colon cancer (whole grains, barley, brown rice, cereals, carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes)
- We usually get 10 grams of fiber but should have 20 – 30 per day
