Boost Your Health with Fiber – Noontime Webinar

Co-sponsored by Stanford Residential and Dining Enterprises

Eating a diet rich in fiber is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. Fiber prevents constipation, lowers cholesterol levels, reduces the risk of heart disease, helps control blood sugar levels, supports a healthy gut microbiome, and more. Fortunately, incorporating a fiber-rich diet is easier and more delicious than you may realize!

Join us for a noontime webinar to learn simple and tasty ways to incorporate more fiber into your meals. In this session, you will discover how to create a healthy microbiome by getting more than 30 different types of high-fiber foods a week through satiating meals.

We will explore fermentation techniques, sprouting, using a pressure cooker for beans and whole grains, creating a savory teff-buckwheat porridge, and more. You will leave the session with tasty recipes as well as a toolbox of strategies to bring more fiber into your daily meals.

This class will be recorded and a one-week link to the recording will be shared with all registered participants. To receive incentive points, attend at least 80% of the live session or listen to the entire recording within one week.
