Fiber Focus: How to Boost Gut Health This Fall

November is full of seasonal foods rich in fiber, a nutrient most people don’t get enough of. Fiber supports digestion, helps balance blood sugar, and promotes a healthy gut microbiome.

  • Load Up on Squash & Sweet Potatoes – Both are high in fiber and perfect for roasting, mashing, or adding to soups. The natural sweetness makes them family-friendly.
  • Snack on Apples & Pears – Keep the skin on for maximum fiber, and pair with nut butter for a balanced snack. They also provide a refreshing crunch.
  • Add Beans & Lentils to Meals – Toss them in salads, wraps, or grain bowls for an easy fiber boost. They also help keep you fuller for longer.
  • Choose Whole Grains – Swap white rice and pasta for quinoa, brown rice, or whole-grain pasta. The extra fiber supports energy levels and satiety.
  • Incorporate Seeds – Sprinkle chia, flax, or pumpkin seeds on oatmeal, yogurt, or salads. They also provide healthy fats and protein.

By making fiber-rich foods a priority this fall, you can support your gut health and enjoy satisfying, nutrient-packed meals.
