Summary
Fiber is having a moment, but it's much more than a trend. In this episode of Dishing Up Nutrition, registered dietitians Leah Kleintrot and Teresa Wagner explain why fiber is essential for healthy digestion, balanced blood sugar, gut health, appetite control, heart health, and long-term wellness. They break down the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber, how much you really need each day, and why most people fall far short of the recommended amount. You'll also discover the best real food sources of fiber, practical ways to increase your intake without digestive discomfort, and why whole foods often beat processed "high-fiber" products. If you're looking for simple nutrition changes that can make a big impact on your health, this episode is a great place to start.
