You might have seen the term “fibremaxxing” trending online. Sounds like a fad? Actually, it’s a concept nutritionists have been shouting about for years: eat more fibre. And yes—your body will thank you! 😄

Why Fibre Matters

Most of us aren’t getting enough fibre. In the UK, a whopping 96% of adults fall short. 😳

  • NHS recommends around 30g per day, but most people only get 20g.
  • Fibre isn’t just for staying “regular” 💩—it:
    • Reduces inflammation
    • Supports your immune system 🛡️
    • Boosts brain function, mood, and memory
    • Lowers the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and colon cancer ❤️

Basically, fibre can help you live longer.

How Fibre Supports Your Gut 🦠

Your gut LOVES fibre. The gut microbiome—all those tiny bacteria in your colon—feed on fibre.

  • Too little fibre? Bacteria turn to breaking down protein instead, which can produce harmful compounds.
  • A fibre-rich diet supports:
    • Mood & mental clarity 😊
    • Appetite regulation 🍽️
    • Lower overall inflammation

Taking care of your gut = taking care of your whole body.

How to Add More Fibre to Your Diet 🍎🥦

The best way? Whole plant-based foods. Some easy options:

  • Oats for breakfast
  • Veggies with every meal
  • Fruits & legumes as snacks
  • Whole grains & seeds like chia, flax, and nuts

Pro tip: No need to go overboard with powders or supplements. Eating whole foods naturally gives your body what it needs. ✅

The Key Takeaway

“Fibremaxxing” isn’t just a trend—it’s a reminder of something simple and powerful: eat more fibre, naturally. Focus on variety, balance, and whole foods, and your gut (and body!) will love you for it. 🥗💛
