Fibre is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining our digestive health. Despite its importance, many people do not consume enough fibre in their diet, leading to a host of digestive issues. In this blog, we'll explore the importance of fibre for digestive health and how our products at Rebel Food Company can help you increase your fibre intake.
What is fibre and why is it important for digestive health?
Fibre is a type of carbohydrate that our body cannot digest. Instead, it passes through our digestive system, providing bulk to our stools and promoting regular bowel movements. There are two types of fibre - soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibre dissolves in water, forming a gel-like substance that helps slow down digestion and promotes the absorption of nutrients. Insoluble fibre does not dissolve in water and provides bulk to our stools, helping to move waste through our digestive system.
Fibre is essential for digestive health because it promotes regular bowel movements and helps prevent constipation. A high-fibre diet can also help lower cholesterol levels, regulate blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of colon cancer.
