Why we really need fibre - Dominique Ludwig Nutrition

Fibre is just so important, not only does it exercise the gut wall, but also helps us to excrete substances that our body no longer needs. It can bind to toxins, as well as oestrogen or cholesterol; making sure they leave the body and do not recirculate.

Because fibre creates an obstacle course in the gut, it can help us manage our blood sugars more effectively, which can help with satiety and also energy levels and concentration.

Microbes 🦠 The DJ’s in your gut!
So, the microbiome is pretty busy looking out for us and our health. Think of your microbiome like a DJ turning up or dialling down different functions in the body. This might be the delicate balance of our hormones, our neurotransmitters or even inflammation.

Main functions of the gut microbes which feed on the fibre.

🦠Digesting our food and manufacturing vitamins, such as B vitamins and vitamin K

🦠Regulating our immune system and dialling down inflammation.

🦠 Modulating and metabolising hormones in the body, such as oestrogen.

🦠 Assisting in the digestion of beneficial plant chemicals, such as polyphenols.

🦠Preventing the colonisation of harmful bacteria and parasites.

🦠 Maintaining a healthy gut barrier function and mucus layer.

🦠 Supporting brain health / mental health. Did you know that 90% of your serotonin is
actually made in the gut?

So not only it’s fibre good for our gut and lunch control, it also nourishes the microbes that are crucial to our health.
