Let’s talk about the ultimate wellness buzzword that deserves the hype it’s getting; fibre. I know that it sounds like something your doctor only talks about during an annual checkup, but it is actually the unsung hero of our entire body.
Fibre keeps our digestion humming, supports our heart, stabilises our blood sugar, and ensures that we have healthy, regular and drama-free trips to the bathroom. Yet, despite its superpower status, most of us are severely lacking fibre in our diet.
The Great Fibre Famine
Statistically speaking, most people are lacking in fibre. Health experts recommend that women get around 25g of fibre each day, and men need about 38g. Yet the average person barely scrapes together 10 -15g on a good day. Unfortunately, modern diets are mostly ultra-processed foods, white flour, and grab-and-go snacks that have been stripped of all their natural roughage.
Fortunately, there are a few signs that we can watch out for to know if our gut is starving for fibre, as our body will usually send up a few rather annoying flares. If your bathroom routine is irregular, sluggish, or unpredictable, fibre is almost always the missing puzzle piece.
If you eat lunch and feel like you need an immediate nap because you’re so exhausted, or suddenly craving sugar, then low fibre indicates carbs are digesting too fast, which spikes and crashes your energy levels. As fibre slows down digestion, keeping us full and satisfied, without it we may crave snacks shortly after eating a full meal because our stomach thinks that it’s still empty.
Our gut microbiome consumes fiber to thrive, so when they’re starved, our digestion gets grumpy, which can drag down everything from our skin to our overall energy levels.
How To Increase Fibre In Daily Life
Eating more fibre doesn’t mean that you have to convert to a raw-vegan diet overnight. We can boost our daily intake with smart swaps, such as upgrading from white bread and pasta to whole-grain or legume-based alternatives. The next time that you eat an apple, a pear, or a potato, wash it well and keep the skin on to eat it, as this is where a huge chunk of the fibre lives.
I like to toss chickpeas into my salads, add black beans to tacos, or snack on edamame beans. But I understand how, even with the best intentions, busy workdays, travel, and on-the-go schedules make hitting that 25g daily fibre goal a challenge through diet alone.
