Gut health... did you know?
Your colon (large intestine) is home to billions of microbes, – not just bacteria, but also yeast, viruses and parasites.
These microbes help break down fibre, and produce chemicals (such as short-chain fatty acids) linked to a host of health benefits. This feasting and fermentation also releases some gases (like hydrogen and methane).
However, if your gut bugs are out of balance (known as ‘dysbiosis’), excess methane can be made – resulting in bloating, wind and constipation.
Adequate fibre is key to this whole process to ensure waste
continues to move through the body for you to pass easily.
How to improve gut health
Diversifying your diet with high fibre and prebiotic foods helps to fuel the growth of good bacteria in the gut.
Some prebiotics, which can be found both naturally in fruit and vegetables and in supplement form, contain fibre which can contribute to the recommended daily intake. Checkout our simple checklist for foods that are high in fibre and can be added to your daily routine today.
