Fibre is something the body needs but never actually digests—in fact, it remains more or less the same from plate to toilet. It comes in two varieties, soluble and insoluble, and most plant-based foods contain a mixture of the two. Skipping out on a daily dose of fibre can make it tough to control blood sugar and appetite and often leads to problems with digestion such as bloating and constipation.  However, there can also be too much of a good thing.

Dietary fibre is the plant-based carbohydrates that, unlike other carbohydrates (such as sugars and starch), can’t be digested or absorbed by the small intestine. Fibre is able to reach the colon where it can feed friendly gut bacteria, helps keep us ‘regular’ and ultimately supports gut health and promotes health and wellbeing.

It’s not surprising - it can be tricky to navigate the different types of ..read more
