FIBRE….not the sexiest of topics for sure…

But it also happens to be one of the most UNDER-CONSUMED substances in our Western diets …

Given that fibre plays multiple absolutely crucial roles in our gut health, it’s one of the top ingredients I would recommend keeping your eye on if you’re looking to optimise your gut health.

And, contrary to what your Nanna might think, it’s not just about your digestion! Fibre feeds your gut bugs so that they can thrive and do their thing too, which means improved fertility rates, healthier pregnancies, and healthier babies…

Here are 3 simple ways to add a bit more fibre to your life…

1. Add chickpeas to your chicken korma. Many people have an ‘all-or-nothing’ approach with meat vs. vegetarian food…If you find yourself missing the meat when you go fully veg, why not try a chicken curry with added legumes for the fibre content? Best of both worlds.

2. Be lazy when it comes to peeling your veg and fruit… The peel is where all the fibre is at, so just give it a wash and you’re good to go…Time saving AND healthier!

3. Choose the grainy bread and the wholemeal pasta. If you can try to mostly select the higher fibre carb option your fibre count will really start to add up!

Do you do any of these already?
