We constantly hear, “Make sure you’re eating enough fibre!”
And yes — fibre is important for a healthy, happy gut. But if you’re increasing fibre without enough water and healthy fats, it can actually leave you feeling more bloated, sluggish and uncomfortable.
Think of your gut like a little ecosystem:
Fibre = the broom / gentle exfoliant�Water = helps everything move along�Healthy oils = the moisturiser
Try pairing your fibre-rich meals with plenty of fluid and a little healthy fat — olive oil with apple cider vinegar makes an easy, delicious dressing.
And as we head into warmer weather, keeping hydrated becomes a little easier:
- Big glass of water before your morning coffee
- Herbal tea counts too
- Add lemon, cucumber or liquid chlorophyll if plain water is boring
- More fibre = remember to increase your fluids too
-
It’s not always about adding more fibre — it’s about giving your gut what it needs to use it well.
Small shifts can make a big difference in how your gut feels this spring! 🌱
