Fibre and prebiotics are both key dietary components to promote health. Understanding their differences is important so you can make informed decisions about your digestive health.

Unlike fats, proteins or carbohydrates which your body breaks down and absorbs, fibres pass through and remain relatively intact through your stomach, small intestine and colon on its way out of your body. In other words, fibre binds with your body\u2019s waste products, helping it move through the proper channels!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s extremely important&nbsp;to&nbsp;make sure you&nbsp;get&nbsp;enough fibre in your diet.&nbsp;The best way to incorporate&nbsp;fibre&nbsp;into&nbsp;your diet is to make sure you\u2019re consuming a high volume of plant-based foods, like fruits, veggies and whole grains. There are two types of&nbsp;fibre, soluble and insoluble, and both have different benefits for gut health.&nbsp;Insoluble&nbsp;fibre&nbsp;helps keep bowel movements regular. Soluble&nbsp;fibre&nbsp;dissolves in water to form a gel and helps to either bulk up loose stools, or soften firm stools. Soluble&nbsp;fibre&nbsp;can also help to lower blood cholesterol and control blood sugars.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a quick chart to show you some foods that contain both soluble and insoluble&nbsp;fibres:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Soluble Fibre<\/strong> eg.

So most Canadians are only getting about half of the recommended fibre intake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know it can be tough.\u202fNext time you are at the grocery store, spend time exploring the produce section, it\u2019s the largest section in the store. Fill your cart with lots of colourful fruits, vegetables and try to buy in season. That way you can reach your daily dose of 25 to 38 grams, without even having to think about it!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"info\">More of a Visual Learner?
