Great series, Annie!

I know that I need to eat a more diverse diet. I tend to stick to the same foods day in and day out and find it challenging to break from them. Thanks for this reminder - I’ll work on it!

Thank you as always for this helpful information. Do you have any thoughts on whether the common supplement Benefiber is helpful or harmful?

I think it’s fine to use a supplement like benefiber when starting to up your intake. But as you introduce fiber rich foods, try to phase it out. Getting fiber from food has additional benefits, like helping with absorption of brain health nutrients.
