Just in case you haven’t heard by now (although I’m not sure where you’ve been if you haven’t!) gut health is kind of a big deal in the nutrition world.

If there is one aspect to nutrition that I think is underrated..it is fibre. Fibre can come in many different forms but essentially it is the indigestible part of plant foods, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, legumes, nuts and seeds.

In terms of sustainable, long term healthy eating and your relationship with food, counting the number of foods you eat per day is much better than counting calories or kilojoules and in this article I will explain why!

Gut health has become extremely popular recently and for good reason with research suggesting it is related to many things from immunity, how we store fat, regulating glucose levels, controlling appetite, digestion, mental health, hormone and neurotransmitter production and determining our disease risk.
