FIBRE, FIBRE, FIBRE
Fibre is key to building a strong and resilient gut that
increases health outcomes across a wealth of areas
such as immune, hormones, weight, mood.
HOW SO ?
Although there are a few different types of Fibre to
varying degrees they are not soluble, meaning it doesn’t
get broken down in early stages of digestion.
Instead in the large intestine it will either be fermented
by bacteria to produce SCFA(Short chain fatty acids) or
it will add bulk to the stool.
Supplying a good food source of fibre helps in the
following ways
✅ Fight inflammation
✅ Improve gut wall integrity
✅ Support a strong immune system (70% of your
overall immune system is in your GUT)
✅ Regulate gut PH
✅ Keep species of pathogenic gut bacteria low
✅ Support glucose regulation and metabolism
✅ Reduce risk of certain cancers in the GIT
✅ Support healthy motility (less symptoms of IBS,
reflux, GORD)
✅ Regulate bowel movements.
Aiming for anywhere between 25g-40g is key for
optimal gut health.
Also always remember with the gut:
Slow, Steady and Sustainable change is always key .
AND if you react to increased fiber it's advised to work
with health professionals to support underlying gut
health so your gut can process the fibre efficiently and
not create more problems.
