The 5 biggest mistakes with fiber

❌ Error #1: Drinking too little water

THE PROBLEM:
Dietary fiber binds water and swells in the intestine. Sounds good, right? But without enough liquid, they turn into dry lumps that slow down your intestines instead of activating them.

🚨 Ergebnis: Verstopfung, Blähungen, träger Darm.

💡 THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT RIGHT:
✔ Drink at least 1.5 - 2 liters of water daily.
✔ Always combine high-fiber meals with a glass of water.
Psyllium husks & linseed? Then twice as much liquid!

❌ Error #2: Sudden switch to too much fiber

THE PROBLEM:
You hear that fiber is healthy - and double your intake overnight. Wrong! Your gut needs time to adapt. Otherwise? Your microbiome can't keep up and produces gas.

🚨 Ergebnis: Blähungen, Bauchkrämpfe, Unwohlsein.

💡 THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT RIGHT:
Increase the quantity slowly! Start small and increase little by little.
✔ Your microbiome needs about 1-2 weeks to adapt.
✔ Always drink enough water (see error #1).

❌ Error #3: Eat only one type of fiber

THE PROBLEM:
Not all dietary fibers are the same. There is soluble (which dissolves in water and feeds your microbiome) and insoluble (which stimulates your digestion). Missing one of them? Then the balance is missing.

🚨 Ergebnis: Blutzuckerschwankungen, träge Verdauung oder Reizdarm–Symptome.

💡 THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT RIGHT:
Soluble fibre (gentle on the gut, stabilizes blood sugar): Oat flakes, chia & linseed, pulses.
Insoluble fiber (promotes digestion & elimination): Whole grain products, nuts, cabbage, wheat bran.
✔ Mix both for healthy intestinal flora & optimal digestion!

❌ Mistake #4: Eating fiber without healthy fats

THE PROBLEM:
Fiber from vegetables and whole grains is great - but without fat, many nutrients are not absorbed properly. Certain vitamins (A, D, E, K) need fat to enter the body.

🚨 Ergebnis: Dein Körper bekommt nicht alle Nährstoffe, obwohl du „gesund“ isst.

💡 THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT RIGHT:
Combine fiber with healthy fats: Avocado, olive oil, nuts or seeds.
✔ Perfect combinations: Oatmeal + nuts, salad + olive oil, vegetables + avocado.
✔ This not only improves digestion, but also keeps you full for longer!

❌ Error #5: Only obtain dietary fiber from processed products

THE PROBLEM:
Many "fiber boost" products contain isolated, processed fiber - without the natural by-products found in real food.

🚨Ergebnis: Weniger Nährstoffaufnahme,
Blood sugar fluctuations Digestive problems.

💡 THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT RIGHT:
Focus on natural sources of fiber: Vegetables, fruit, pulses, nuts & seeds.
✔ If you want to supplement - then with 100% natural ingredients!
