Did you know October 26th is National Pumpkin Day? 🎃 While pumpkins are perfect for carving and decorating, they’re also a nutrient-rich food that can be enjoyed in many delicious ways! Pumpkin is loaded with vitamin A to support eye and immune health, fiber for digestion, and potassium to help manage blood pressure. It’s also naturally free of saturated fat, sodium, and cholesterol, making it a heart-healthy choice. Whether you use fresh pumpkin or canned puree, try mixing it into oatmeal, baked goods, chili, or even coffee for a tasty nutrition boost!

Many of us don’t get enough fiber—older women need about 21 grams per day, and older men about 30 grams. According to the University of California San Francisco, a high-fiber diet may help lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, diverticular disease, constipation, and colon cancer. Fiber also supports digestive health and helps keep cholesterol in check.

Want to add more fiber? Check out the image for simple ideas! Be sure to increase fiber gradually and drink plenty of water to keep your stomach comfortable as your body adjusts.

You’ve probably heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day — and there’s actually truth to that!

Breakfast literally “breaks” your overnight fast, jump-starting your digestion and giving your brain a boost of glucose for better focus and alertness.

When you skip it, you might feel sluggish early on, end up overeating later in the day, or miss out on key nutrients found in common breakfast foods.

If you’re not used to eating in the morning, start small — try whole grain toast with fruit and a glass of milk for a mix of fiber, protein, and antioxidants to power your day.
