Because our GUTS contain a colony of bacteria that work together affecting how we function. There are trillions of microorganisms and some are beneficial and some are NOT.

It makes sense that what we put into our gut directly affects how we feel mentally & physically.

And the biggest predictor of good gut health, lies in how much fibre we eat. Because FIBRE is what gut bacteria like to eat.

NO… they LOVE to eat fibre and the more they eat the healthier and more abundant they become. They overthrow the bad bacteria…it’s like the ‘Game of Thrones’ in your gut.

So what is fibre and why should we eat more ???

Nutritional advice from every reputable organisation around the world will recommend eating 25 grams a day for a woman and 30 grams of fibre a day for a man.

And that’s a minimum recommended amount. To confuse us, even more, there are three types of fibre. So what is fibre and why should we be eating more?

To keep things simple: There is insoluble fibre found in brown rice, wholemeal breads, wholegrains, high fibre cereals, nuts, seeds, legumes, and some vegetables.

Soluble fibre is found in oats, barley, lentils, nuts, seeds and some vegetables and fruits.

Resistant starch is found in legumes, lentils, oats, cooked and cooled pasta, rice and potatoes, whole grains and firm bananas.

All types of dietary fibre promote different health benefits!!!!
