Fibre First Approach to Health

Fibre First Approach to Health

At Fueld, we believe that your health begins with your diet, and fibre is an often overlooked component of a healthy lifestyle.

Why Fibre?

Fibre has been overlooked for too long; most adults don’t know they aren't meeting the recommended 30g of fibre a day, and we’ve designed Fueld to help you up your fibre intake. By building your diet around a variety of fruits and veg, you take care of your gut microbiome, feel full faster and for longer, and experience the health benefits of a more colourful plate. It's been found by scientists that increasing your fibre intake by as little as 5g per day can reduce your risk of death by around 20%, which goes to show how chronic the underconsumption of fibre is in the general population.

Blood Sugar Benefits

A high fibre diet helps regulate blood sugar levels by slowing down your digestion, which keeps your energy levels high throughout the day and regulates cholesterol levels. Having a more controlled blood sugar response also helps reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, and we believe fibre is one of the most potent weapons we have in the fight against these diseases. In a world full of ultra processed foods, fibre is one of the best things you can quickly work on implementing into your diet to start reducing the impact of sugar spiking carb-filled foods designed to addict.

Fibre-Rich Food Choices

  • Add some leafy greens to your every day meal. A small salad to start can help line your gut with some fibre, preventing a blood sugar spike.

  • Snack on whole nuts and dark chocolate instead of biscuits to have a more controlled blood sugar response and prevent nasty sugar spikes.

  • Start your morning with chia seed porridge with some coco powder and fruit; this is one of our favourite high fibre recipes. It keeps you full for the whole day, helps your gut, and is super tasty!
