Fibres keep your digestive system healthy by making foods pass smoothly through the digestive tract. Fibre-rich foods are highly recommended to sustain a healthy diet. So what should you eat to ensure you get the necessary amount of fibres you need?

DID YOU KNOW?

Fibre slows down the release of energy, thereby keeping you fuller for longer and helps you balance your blood sugar.

Most foods contain both insoluble and soluble fibre but are usually higher in one type than the other. Both are neccessary for good digestive function.

Dietary fiber increases the weight and size of your stool and softens it. A bulky stool is easier to pass, decreasing your chance of constipation. If you have loose, watery stools, fiber may help to solidify the stool because it absorbs water and adds bulk to stool, thereby maintaining bowel health.

As someone who has suffered from inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS), I know from personal experience that those suffering from digestive issues often avoid taking fibre as it can exacerbate their syptoms.

However, in order to support your gut healing journey, fibre is essential even in IBS. You may find that working with a professional can help you find the right balance for you.

Constipation is not normal and can have a detrimental effect not only on your physical but emotional health as well. ?
