Prebiotic Fibre Made Easy
I am sure you have heard of PRObiotics, but may not be quite sure of the importance of PREbiotics in your diet. They are a relatively new discovery and evidence supporting their health benefit is only beginning to emerge.....but the information currently known is astounding!
Prebiotic fibre is a type of indigestible fibre that isn't completely broken down in our bodies. Instead, it is fermented and feeds gut-friendly probiotic bacteria in our small intestine and colon.
There are different types of fibre, and prebiotic fibre is often a "soluble" fibre.
Our Bodies Need Fibre
Sadly, the modern diet is often lacking in fibre. Our lives are so busy, and it can be difficult to meet the nutritional fibre requirements our bodies crave.
(fibre guidelines and dietary recommendations to meet them).
As such, our good gut bacteria may not be receiving the prebiotic food they need to thrive, and in turn, they then cannot provide the incredible benefits to our health and wellness, they are designed for.
Australian Total Dietary Fibre Recommendations:
Children (14-18g/day), adolescents (20-28g/day) and adults (25-30g/day).
Foods Containing Prebiotic Fibre
Hemp Seeds are a good source of both Prebiotic Fibre and Protein.
Monash University advise that you can also source prebiotic fibre from:
Vegetables
Jerusalem artichokes, chicory, garlic, onion, leek, shallots, spring onion, asparagus, beetroot, fennel bulb, green peas, snow peas, sweetcorn, savoy cabbage
Legumes
Chickpeas, lentils, red kidney beans, baked beans, soybeans
Fruit
Custard apples, nectarines, white peaches, persimmon, tamarillo, watermelon, rambutan, grapefruit, pomegranate. Dried fruit (eg. dates, figs)
