Fibre is one of the most argued-about topics in nutrition right now. Some low-fibre crowds claim you don't need it, or even that it's harmful. On the flip side, the fibremaxxing trend says to load up on as much as possible.

So we went to the research, and here's the verdict: fibre genuinely supports your gut. It feeds healthy bacteria, strengthens the gut barrier, and helps with everything from constipation to a 41% lower risk of diverticular disease.

Aim for 30g+ a day, mostly from wholefoods - fruit, veg, legumes and whole grains. But individual variation matters. Not everyone handles every type of fibre the same way, and if you're just starting to up your intake, take it slow. You don't need to max it out all at once!
