Lunch With A Dietitian: Focus on Fiber
Date: Monday, February 22, 2010
Time: 12:10 PM - 12:50 PM
Instructor(s): Karina Wittmann
Location: Memorial Union, Badlands Room, University of North Dakota
Description: Did you know that only about half of the US population is consuming the recommended amount of fiber per day? Fiber has many benefits to us: it keeps our digestive system functioning properly, aids in hearts health, helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, as well as aids in weight management. Fiber is found in many everyday items such as whole grain breads and cereals, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Join us as we discuss easy ways to increase your fiber intake and lead a healthier life.
