What is Fibre and why is it important? 🤔
- Fibre comes in 2 different forms:soluble and insoluble. We can't digest these, but they have very important roles in the body especially within our gut.

Soluble fibre is found in fruit, oats, dried beans and peas, nuts, barley and chia.

Insoluble fibre is found vegetables, fruit and vegetable skins, seeds and nuts

Fibre helps us feel fuller for longer
Lowers our risk of Colon cancer
Speeds up digestion through our GI tract
Bulks up our stools
Lowers our blood lipids and Cholesterol
Boost overall gut health
We need approximately 25-35g per day. In Ireland, we tend to not eat enough fibre and thus we can have issues with our gut health. Too much can cause digestive stress so it's important to get just the right amount
