Dietary fibre is important for bowel regularity.\u00a0Insoluble fibre<\/strong>\u00a0is what we most often think of as beneficial for regular bowel function. It\u2019s the undigested roughage that is not fermented and bulks up stools.\u00a0Soluble fibre<\/strong>\u00a0helps with cholesterol reduction as well as bulking up stools by absorbing water to aid regular bowel function.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nuts like macadamias also contain\u00a0prebiotic fibre<\/strong>68<\/a><\/sup>. This is fibre that is a fermentable food for your gut\u2019s natural bacteria and fungi (called microflora). When this prebiotic fibre is fermented by gut bacteria, short chain fatty acid gases are produced that are beneficial to the lining of the gut. This activity plays a role in the production of the \u2018happy hormone\u2019 serotonin69<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0as well as influencing hormones that affect weight management, appetite, blood sugar levels and the immune system70<\/a><\/sup>. So, by eating prebiotic fibre you are stimulating a healthy colony of gut bacteria to benefit your overall health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
