πΎ Want to eat more fibre but not sure where to start?
Most Australians donβt eat enough fibre, yet itβs one of the most important nutrients for overall health. Aim for minimum 25g per day.
Increasing your fibre intake can help:
βοΈ Keep you fuller for longer
βοΈ Support healthy digestion and regular bowel movements
βοΈ Feed your beneficial gut bacteria
βοΈ Improve cholesterol and heart health
βοΈ Help stabilise blood sugar levels
The good news? You donβt need to overhaul your diet. Adding just 1-2 high fibre foods to each meal can make a big difference.
Some easy fibre boosters include:
π₯ A handful of mixed nuts
π« Β½ cup of beans or lentils
π Mixed berries
π₯ Half an avocado
π Sweet potato with the skin on
π± Chia, flax or LSA sprinkled on yoghurt or oats
π Wholegrain bread
π‘ Tip: Increase your fibre gradually and remember to drink plenty of water to help your digestive system adjust.
