About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of fibre for health and how to incorporate it into your diet.

We hear a lot about protein, but could we be overlooking something even more important? Cherry Healey and Dr Amir Khan look at why fibre is so important for your gut, heart and overall health, how much you actually need each day, and the simple ways to get more of it. Plus, they talk about the viral trend of fibre maxxing, constipation, gut bacteria and why increasing your fibre too quickly might leave you feeling a little… gassy! 💬 Got a question?
