“I wasn't sleeping. I didn't have any hobbies because I was always up late doing work for school or my extracurriculars. I realized that it was important to focus on wellness. Once I did, I actually started sleeping better and found more things to do that I enjoy.” - Sarah Holehouse, DuWell Wellness Intern

Happy National Fiber Focus Month! 🌾

Did you know that fiber is an excellent nutrient for promoting digestive, heart, and gut health?! This National Fiber Focus month let’s learn about the importance of fiber and find new ways to incorporate more fiber into our diets!

There are two types of fiber: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water to form gel-like substance and is typically found in oats, beans, fruits, vegetables, and grains. Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water and adds bulk to stool helping food pass through the digestive system and is typically found in whole grains, nuts seeds, and the skin of fruits and vegetables!
