Take a deep breath in, now breath out. Your hardworking lungs do this 20,000 times a day.

But have you ever wondered how much of the air you breathe is truly fresh? You might be surprised to know that you`re breathing in air filled with pollutants like sulfur dioxides, carbon monoxides, volatile organic compounds and particulates.

To reduce your risk of getting diverticulitis, you should try and add high-fiber foods to each meal. Aim for up to half your plate to contain some fiber-rich food.

However, be careful about eating a lot of fiber at once. Overdoing it can cause gas, bloating, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps as your gut bacteria try to process all the new fiber. These problems go away after a while as your digestive system gets used to the higher fiber levels, but you can avoid them by adding extra fiber gradually to your diet. For example, try to add just one more serving of a high-fiber food to your daily diet for a week, then see how your body feels. Give yourself another week, if needed. If everything is okay, add another daily serving for a week. Continue this pattern until you reach your daily quota of fiber.

Also, make sure to drink plenty of fluids each day—about 16 ounces of water, four times a day. Increasing the water you drink can help fiber pass through your digestive system and avoid stomach distress.

Here are some additional tips that can help you make the transition to a higher-fiber diet.

• Eat pulses (the seeds of plants in the legume family), such as beans, lentils, and peas, at least three times a week.You can include them either as a plant-based protein in meatless dishes, or as the starch side in place of grains.

• Replace refined grains like white rice with whole grains like brown rice, wild rice, or bulgur.For pasta, look for versions made from quinoa or pulses like chickpeas and lentils.
