We’ve all heard that we need more fibre in our diets, but fibre is much more than just a digestive aid. In the world of nutrition, fibre is the unsung hero that keeps your heart healthy, your blood sugar stable, and your gut microbiome thriving. If you’re looking to boost your energy and improve your long-term health, understanding the benefits of fibre is the perfect place to start. What exactly is fibre? Fibre is a type of carbohydrate found in plant-based foods. Unlike other carbs (like sugars and starches), your body doesn’t actually digest it. Instead, it passes through your system relatively intact. It generally falls into two categories: Soluble Fibre: Dissolves in water to form a gel-like material. It helps lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. Insoluble Fibre: Promotes the movement of material through your digestive system—perfect for those looking to stay regular. Top 5 health benefits of a high-fibre diet Why is fibre a non-negotiable for a healthy lifestyle? Here are the science-backed reasons to fill your plate with plants: Digestive Longevity: High-fibre diets normalise bowel movements and maintain bowel health, reducing the risk of chronic digestive issues. Heart Health: Soluble fibre (found in beans and oats) can help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol levels. Blood Sugar Control: For those with diabetes, fibre—particularly soluble fibre—can slow the absorption of sugar and help improve blood sugar levels. Weight Management: Fibre-rich foods are generally more filling than low-fibre foods, so you're likely to eat less and stay satisfied longer. Longevity: Studies suggest that increasing your dietary fibre intake is associated with a reduced risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and all cancers. Fibre-rich foods to add to your shopping list Eating healthy shouldn't feel like a chore. There are plenty of delicious, fibre-rich foods that you can easily incorporate into your daily meals.

How to increase your fibre intake If your current diet is low in fibre, don't try to hit your goal overnight! Adding too much too quickly can lead to bloating or gas. Tip: Increase your fibre intake gradually over a few weeks. This allows the natural bacteria in your digestive system to adjust to the change.
