Fiber Focus Month

January
variety of foods with fiber such as vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, grains, and seeds

Fiber has many health benefits, so focus on adding fiber to your diet during January. Make sure to follow these tips when adding more fiber to your diet:

  • Start slowly by adding one fiber-rich food daily for one week, then increase by one serving until recommended levels are reached.
  • Add high-fiber foods gradually, since too much fiber at once produces discomfort.
  • Eat a variety of fiber-rich foods such as whole grain bread, oatmeal, fruits, and vegetables.
