Story summary
- Dietitian Priya Tew notes the 'fibremaxxing' trend promotes higher daily fibre intake.
- She notes insoluble and soluble fibre aid digestion, and most consume about 15–18g of 25–30g daily.
- Rapid fibre increases can cause bloating, so she urges gradual incorporation of fibre-rich foods such as chia seeds and lentils.
- Snacks such as popcorn and roasted chickpeas are suitable options because careful fibre addition can enhance meals without negative effects.
