Consumption of fiber can improve health, extend lifespan and even protect our brain. However, many of us still don’t get this “essential nutrient”.<\/p>\n

A diet rich in whole grains, fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds \u2013 all of which are full of fiber \u2013 can have huge benefits for both our bodies and our brains.<\/p>\n

New research shows that fiber supercharges the microbiome and affects the gut-brain axis, which is the communication channel that runs between the gut and the brain; slowing the symptoms of cognitive decline.<\/p>\n

Increasing fiber consumption is one of the most impactful dietary changes for cognitive health, says Karen Scott, professor of gut microbiology at the Rowett Institute, University of Aberdeen. On the other hand, lack of fiber has been found to be a major dietary risk factor for poor health.<\/p>\n

However, many of us are not eating enough. In the US, about 97% of men and 90% of women do not eat enough fiber. Most eat less than half the recommended daily allowance.<\/p>\n

In the UK, over 90% of UK adults do not get this amount, with many other countries showing similar deficiencies.<\/p>\n
