Fiber: Why it's important and how to get more of it Diets rich in fiber are associated with good heart health and metabolic wellbeing. This type of diet can do wonders for our gut microbiome. With so many benefits, relatively low cost, and high availability, fiber should be a staple nutrient in our diets — but most of us have a deficiency. In this episode of ZOE Science & Nutrition, Jonathan and Will ask: If fiber is so good for us, why are we not eating enough of it? https://zoe.com/learn/podcast-fiber https://youtube.com/watch?v=zsnEhLqQVbU "We know that fiber is the main ingredient for creating a healthy microbiome, fiber and fermented food. That's really not up for debate". – Dr. Robynne Chutkan, MD "I’m here to tell you that fiber is the first, and potentially the most powerful, solution to restoring health to your gut microbiota, and from there your overall health." - Fiber Fueled by Will Bulsiewicz MD. "The one thing we can say for certain is that fiber is crucial for a healthy microbiome. (...) that is the one thing that absolutely everyone will tell you: fiber is key, if you don't get enough fiber in your diet, you will not have a healthy microbiome, no matter what else you do."
