Besides to sleep and time alone, here’s something else most women don’t get enough of: fiber. Sparing the details, let’s just say we all could use more.

Fitness magazine tells us the average American woman gets 10 to 15 grams of the good stuff, about half of what she needs to meet the basic recommended 25 grams. More is even better.

Here are five ways, blatant and restrained, to get more fiber into your diet:

1. Fig-uratively speaking: Add dried figs or other fruits (cherries, kiwi and the like) to a salad.

2. Cereal thriller: Start the day with a high-fiber cereal such as Fiber One or Kashi Vive.

3. Hummus a happy tune: Dip carrots and snap peas in hummus instead of ranch dressing. Or remember bean dip from slumber parties? Use the low-fat kind.

4. Orange you glad you tried this? Instead of drinking fruit juice, eat the fruit. More fiber, more satisfaction.

5. Wrap it up: Instead of the usual tuna-on-white, wrap a sandwich in a whole-wheat tortilla.
