The Fibremaxxing Trap: When More Isn't Better
Fibremaxxing is a trend where individuals increase their fibre intake dramatically, often surpassing recommended guidelines. This may lead to health issues like nutrient absorption interference and digestive discomfort. While fibre is beneficial, balance and adherence to guidelines using natural foods rather than supplements is crucial.

In the UK, a new trend dubbed 'fibremaxxing' sees individuals drastically increasing their fibre intake in pursuit of wellness. The UK NHS recommends 30g daily, yet many are exceeding this, risking health issues.
Ultra-processed foods are low in fibre, causing Britons to miss dietary targets. To combat this, balanced diets featuring wholegrain bread, fruits with skin, lentils, and nuts are advised.
Excessive fibre can disrupt nutrient absorption and cause digestive issues. Therefore, moderation and sourcing fibre from natural foods rather than supplements are advisable for optimal health benefits.
