Fibre is a carbohydrate that passes into the large intestine and feeds your gut microbes. Your gut needs fibre to support your overall health - in fact a high fibre-diet has been linked to better heart and immune health, and has been found to lower the risk of diabetes, certain cancers and other chronic diseases. We need between 25 - 30g of fibre a day and yet only 1 in 10 of us reach this goal. Closing this ‘fibre gap’ is high on the agenda of healthcare professionals from across the globe.

Prebiotic fibre, which is naturally found in lentils, asparagus and oats, feeds the good bacteria in your gut, to help them thrive and crowd out pathogenic (or “bad”) bacteria. Dietary fibre intake is directly correlated with the composition, diversity and richness of the microbiome. Including soluble fibre in your diet will help you feel full for longer, and has been linked to lowering cholesterol and blood sugar levels, whereas insoluble fibre, supports healthy digestion and prevents constipation. 

Polyphenols are a diverse group of compounds found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, wholegrains, herbs, and spices. They’re particularly prevalent in bright and colourful foods - think blueberries, cherries, turmeric and beetroot. 

Polyphenols boast a wide range of health benefits, due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Research repeatedly links polyphenols to balanced blood sugar levels, which is why they are sometimes linked to a reduction in type 2 diabetes and heart disease.  Because polyphenols are antioxidants, they are able to help neutralise free radicals in the body and lower inflammation, which can support heart health and potentially lower the risk of certain cancers. These fascinating compounds have also been shown to support memory, learning and brain health, and to protect the skin from sun damage and pollution, and even improve recovery following intense exercise due to their ability to defend the body from oxidative stress and reduce inflammation. 

They also play a crucial role in gut health, functioning in a similar way to prebiotics, stimulating the growth of healthy bacteria species including Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus and preventing the development of “bad” bacteria and also protecting the gastrointestinal tract from damage.
