CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The recommended intake for fibre in the UK was increased in 2015 to from 23g to 30g per day. Despite this increase, latest figures show that average daily intake in the UK is still falling short at just 18g per day.
The first part of this webinar explores how our scientific understanding of dietary fibre has changed in recent years, the latest research and updates on fibre and the role of different types of fibre on the gut microbiome.
In the second part of this webinar, we look at how nutrition professionals can communicate the messages around fibre in a more practical manner and highlight how patients and clients can incorporate the recommendations for fibre into their diets.
We’ll cover:
- The impact of poor gut health on mood and sleep
- Evolution of the fibre science and definitions
- The role of different fibres in gut health
- Practical tips to support individuals to eat more fibre
- Potential barriers to increasing fibre intakes
