Fiber

FIBER: Everyone needs it.
Few actually get enough.

Fiber is dietary fiber.

An essential part of our nutrition. Sounds simple? It isn’t. 4 out of 5 people don’t meet the daily recommendation.

The fiber gap: 10 g missing per day.

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends 30 g of dietary fiber daily. On average, we only reach 15–22 g. The difference is called the fiber gap.

Plenty of fiber is healthy.

Dietary fiber supports gut flora. Over 90% of serotonin is produced in the gut. More fiber lifts your mood.

Too little fiber makes you ill.

When fiber is lacking, the body reacts. The risk of disease measurably increases, including: cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, depressive symptoms.

Fiber tames blood sugar.

Dietary fiber slows the rise in blood sugar after eating. The result: stable energy levels instead of spikes and crashes. A plus for anyone at risk of diabetes.

Fiber feeds good bacteria.

100 trillion bacteria feed on dietary fiber. They turn fiber into short-chain fatty acids. This protects the gut lining, immune system, and metabolism.
