Dietary fiber | The superfood for gut health

You've probably heard that fiber is good for digestion.
But what if I told you that they do far more than just "keep your bowels moving"? Fiber is the invisible architect of your health. They nourish your microbiome (gut flora), regulate your energy levels and play a key role in your wellbeing.
But not all dietary fibers are the same!

Dietary fiber: The silent force behind your well-being.

🌾 Two types of fiber - two worlds of health

Imagine that your body is a garden.
For this garden to flourish, it needs two things: Nutrients that make the soil fertile and structures that allow the plants to grow stably.

This is exactly how the two main types of fiber work:

🌊 Soluble fiber - the gentle nutrients

This fiber is like fine, nutrient-rich rain for your microbiome (intestinal flora). They dissolve in water and form a gel-like substance that:
✔️ Feeds and strengthens the good intestinal bacteria.
✔️ Stabilizes the blood sugar level.
✔️ Gentle supports digestion and makes nutrients more readily available.

🌱 Sources: Oat flakes, linseed, chia seeds, pulses, apples, carrots, psyllium husks

💡 Tip: Soluble fiber is particularly helpful for sensitive intestines because it has a calming effect and can reduce inflammation.

🌾 Insoluble fiber - the structure givers

This fiber is like a stable root system in your garden. They do not dissolve in water, but give your intestines stability and movement.

✔️ They promote regular digestion.
✔️ They bind toxins and help your body to eliminate them.
✔️ They provide a pleasant feeling of satiety.

🌱 Sources: Wholemeal products, nuts, seeds, cabbage, carrots, wheat bran

💡 Tip: If you're struggling with digestive issues, insoluble fiber can help - but make sure to combine it with enough water to get the full effect!

⚡️ The perfect mix - why you need both

A garden needs rain and stable soil - your body needs both types of fiber.

👉 Soluble dietary fiber nourish your microbiome (intestinal flora) and improve nutrient absorption.
👉 Insoluble dietary fiber keep your bowels moving and support detoxification.

Unfortunately, many people consume too little of both - the microbiome remains undersupplied, digestion grinds to a halt and energy is lacking.

💡 Tip: With BS+ Dietary Fiber Plus you can increase your fiber intake in a targeted manner - with an optimal mix of soluble and insoluble fiber. 🌿

🧠 Gut and brain - why fiber also affects your mood

Did you know that your microbiome is involved in the production of serotonin - the happiness hormone?

✨ Studies show: People who eat a high-fiber diet often feel more balanced, clearer and more energetic.
A stable blood sugar level thanks to fiber also helps to avoid cravings and energy fluctuations.

👉 Your microbiome loves fiber - and your head benefits from it.

🌱 Three simple ways to get more fiber in your everyday life
