Fibremaxxing is a viral trend promoting high-fiber foods in meals for digestive health, weight loss, and gut health. It encourages individuals to meet or exceed recommended daily fibre intake, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. Whole plant foods are rich in fibre, which supports healthy digestion, reduces chronic diseases, supports gut health, aids weight loss, and has a low glycemic index. Fiber also helps reduce cholesterol levels, improves heart health, and reduces colorectal cancer risk. It also prevents and relieves constipation by increasing stool bulk and speeding stool movement. Make sure your meals and snacks include a range of vibrant fruits and vegetables. Aiming for at least five servings each day is generally recommended. Compared to their refined equivalents, whole grain goods such as brown rice, quinoa, oats, and whole wheat bread have a higher fiber content.
To increase the amount of fiber in soups, salads, and main courses, add beans, lentils, and chickpeas. Select high-fiber foods like whole grain crackers, popcorn, or hummus with vegetables. To support the function of fiber and avoid gastrointestinal distress, drink lots of water. Consuming too much fibre without proper hydration can cause discomfort, bloating, gas, IBS flare-ups, constipation, and dehydration. Maintaining a balanced diet, gradually increasing fibre intake, drinking enough water, and mixing soluble and insoluble fibre sources is crucial. Consult an expert before making significant dietary changes.
