USDA data indicate that the U.S. Hispanic population consumes more dietary fiber, on average, than other racial and ethnic groups, though fiber intake still remains below recommended levels. In this session, leading dietitians from the Latin American community will give an overview of dietary fiber recommendations and benefits, including their prebiotic effects. Rebeca Stevenson, RDN, LDN will focus on legumes from Latin American Heritage diets, and how to adapt nutrition care plans to increase consumption of this food group. Sylvia Klinger, DBA, MS, RDN will focus on whole grains found in Latin American Heritage Diets, dispelling common myths and stereotypes about these foods. Attendees will come away prepared to help patients of all racial and ethnic backgrounds increase dietary fiber consumption and embrace traditional Latin American heritage cuisine.
