Throughout my life, I have been trying to understand my digestive system. I have experimented with so many different foods, eating schedules, and meal compositions. All to understand what works for me and what does not!

The journey has been filled with trial and error, influenced by different life events like pregnancy, breastfeeding, seasons of high stress, managing autoimmune issues and illness. These have all significantly impacted on my gut health. Despite all the complexities, one constant has emerged: the importance of fibre in my diet. While I maintain a generally healthy eating pattern, I am always looking for ways to stabilise my energy levels and curb cravings. It is so difficult to achieve the right balance from breakfast to dinner. Fibre has proven to be a game changer!

But I consistently fall short of my daily fibre goal.

Why is it so difficult to get the recommended daily intake of 30g of fibre? My typical daily diet includes oats, apples, salads, and steamed vegetables, which provides about 20g of fibre every day. But reaching the full 30g often seems quite impossible. On days when I manage to have 30g of fibre, I notice a significant difference in how I feel. The challenge is achieving 30g everyday, all while leading a hectic life.

Getting enough fibre each day makes me feel better. In every way.
