Why Fibre Matters!!!
Fibre is one of the most overlooked nutrients yet it supports digestion, blood sugar, heart health, hormones, and long-term health.
Most adults need approximately 25–30g fibre per day, but many get far less.
Here’s how fibre supports the body:
• Gut health: Feeds beneficial bacteria and supports regular bowel movements
Sources: lentils (8g/½ cup), broccoli (2.5g/cup), flax (3g/tbsp)
• Blood sugar: Slows carbohydrate absorption, preventing spikes and crashes
Helpful for insulin resistance, PCOS & cravings
Sources: oats (4g/½ cup), avocado (5g/½), berries (4g/cup)
• Heart health: Soluble fibre helps lower LDL cholesterol
Sources: beans (7–8g/½ cup), seeds (2–3g/tbsp)
• Hormone balance: Supports hormone elimination via the gut and appetite regulation
Sources: vegetables (2–4g/cup), seeds & whole grains
Easy ways to increase fibre:
Add beans or lentils, include vegetables at every meal, choose whole fruit over juice, sprinkle seeds, and increase fibre gradually with good hydration.
Small, consistent changes matter more than perfection 🌱
