πΏ NATIONAL NUTRITION WEEK: LETβS TALK FIBRE! π₯¦ π
If thereβs just ONE thing you could focus on improving for your health, let it be thisβ¦
Eat more plants! π±
Fruit and vegetables are more than just a source of vitamins and minerals. They provide fibre that helps support healthy digestion, regular bowel movements and the beneficial bacteria living in your gut.
Why does fibre matter for your gut health?
β‘ It helps support regular bowel movements
β‘ Fibre feeds beneficial gut bacteria
β‘ Eating a variety of plant foods support a diverse gut microbiome
β‘ Fibre can help you feel fuller for longer and support overall metabolic health
π₯¦ Your daily veggie goal? Aim for 5 serves!
π Start your day with a smoothie combining fruits and veggies or have one as a snack
π₯¬ Include veggies in every meal- make each meal colourful.
π΅ Add grated veggies to pasta dishes and homemade metballs or even use zucchini noodles instead of regular pasta as a change.
π« Add beans, lentils or chickpeas to meals
πΎ Choose wholegrains where tolerated- swapping out the white rice for brown rice or quinoa for more fibre.
π Instead of having potato chips with your chicken schnitzel, make sweet potato chips, parsnip, zucchini or kale chips.
π₯ Add veggies to homemade sauces, dips and gravies.
π₯¦ Don't skip on the green veggies.
π Mix up your colours and plant foods throughout the week!
And remember, it's not just about how MUCH fibre you eat, but also the VARIETY of plant foods you include.
You don't need to overhaul your entire diet overnight. Start by adding one extra serve of vegetables, trying a new plant food or gradually increasing your fibre intake in a way that suits your digestive system. π
