Fibre is so much more than what we first understood. Suppose you quickly search for health benefits on Google. In that case, you'll learn that fibre helps with great bowel movements by preventing constipation and diarrhoea, decreases cholesterol, and enhances blood sugar regulation. While these are all true and excellent benefits, we have greatly underestimated the power of fibre.
In this episode we cover what is fibre, why it is important, health benefits, how much we need, best food sources and how to mitigate short term discomfort of fibre on a plant-based diet.
