Add an apple and some carrot sticks to your daily lunch break.

of heart disease. In a recent study, getting just 8 additional grams of

dietary fiber per day was associated with a significant decrease in heart

disease risk and heart attack risk. Eight grams of fiber is equivalent to a

medium apple and a handful of carrot sticks.
