A 58-year-old female patient with a history of chronic constipation is advised to increase her dietary fiber intake. As part of her nutrition counseling, you provide examples of foods she should consider incorporating into her diet. Which of the following would you recommend as a good source of dietary fiber?
Raspberries are an excellent source of dietary fiber, with one cup providing approximately 8 grams of fiber. This makes them a suitable recommendation for the patient looking to increase their fiber intake to aid in the management of chronic constipation. The other options listed either contain significantly less fiber or none at all, making them less effective in this context. Oranges provide fiber but less than raspberries, steamed broccoli has fiber but it's also less than raspberries, and roast chicken breast contains no dietary fiber.
