The Power of Prebiotics and Fibre

Probiotics get all the limelight but prebiotics and fibre can have significant health benefits, supporting our gut health longer term, and as a result they should be a primary focus. Luckily, they are cheaper and easier to include in our diets than probiotic supplements as they come mainly from plants such as wholegrains, pulses, legumes, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. Yet, we live in a society where fibre stripped white grains are a staple, and where 73% of adults and 92% of children are not meeting the 5-a-day recommendation for fruit and vegetable intake.

​​Opinions and research are also changing around the role of fibre in inflammatory bowel disease with the increasing knowledge we have around the gut microbiome.
