Are you consuming enough fiber?


According to a recent blog entry about nutrition, PD patients should increase their daily intake of fiber by eating at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables and aim for consuming 9. Some of the high fiber fruits and veggies are apples, oranges, berries, brussels sprouts, green cabbage,eggplant, avocado, artichoke, tomatoes and beans such as garbanzo and lima. We find this information helpful, insightful, and extremely interesting....everyone should implement this in their diet to stay active and healthy!

Thank you for your continued support.
