Why Fibre Matters? 🌿
Fibre does so much more than support digestion — it’s a foundation for overall wellbeing. From gut and hormone health to energy, metabolism, and detoxification, fibre plays a key role in keeping things in balance.

Gut Health
Fibre feeds beneficial gut bacteria, helping maintain a diverse and balanced microbiome. It supports regular bowel motions, strengthens the gut lining, and reduces inflammation — all vital for digestive health.

Hormonal Balance
A healthy gut and regular elimination help the body clear excess hormones, particularly estrogen, overall supporting balance.

Metabolic Health
Fibre slows the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, improving insulin sensitivity and helping maintain steady energy and appetite. It also supports cholesterol management by binding to excess cholesterol in the gut and aiding its excretion.

Detoxification
Fibre assists the liver’s natural detoxification processes by binding and carrying waste products, used hormones, and toxins out of the body. Regular elimination helps prevent these from being reabsorbed, easing the body’s overall detox load.

Aim for colour, plants and fibre with every meal!

Fibre types 🍎🌾
There are two main types of fibre: soluble and insoluble.
Plus, a portion of these are prebiotic fibres — the ones that feed your gut bugs 🦠.

✨ Soluble fibre
• Absorbs water → forms a gel → slows digestion
• Found in: oats, flaxseeds, chia, kumara, broccoli, apples, legumes

🌿 Insoluble fibre
• Doesn’t absorb water → adds bulk → supports regular bowel motions
• Found in: veges, fruits + their skins, whole grains, nuts, seeds

🦠 Prebiotic fibre
• Passes through undigested → fuels good bacteria in the large intestine
• Found in: garlic, onions, leeks, artichokes, green banana, apples, root veges, oats, mushrooms

🌈 Fibre variety = optimal gut health
Aim for a wide range of plant foods: veges, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds + legumes.
