We need 25g of fibre per day – this is what 5 g looks like

Daily fibre recommendations vary across the world, but for adults, to have a healthy gut 25g per day is what many experts agree on.

Our gut is important for our general health as it’s where

• Most of our immune system is

• We break down and take in nutrients needed for every single cell in our body

• We detox harmful disease-causing substances

• Our good flora or microbiome lives, which is vital to our health because otherwise we simply don’t have enough DNA to function

• Our weight is partially determined

• We make many hormones and neurotransmitters

So eat more fibre and watch your health, weight and wellbeing improve.

Have as wide a variety as possible, and a mix of raw and cooked.
