Dietary fiber: The 3 biggest myths - and what's really true!
❌ Myth 1: Fiber is only for digestion
Many people think:
Dietary fiber? They just help with bowel movements. Done.
✅ What is really true:
Dietary fibers are multi-talented!
They feed your microbiome - the good gut bacteria.
These produce short-chain fatty acids, which:
✔️ Reduce inflammation
✔️ Stabilize the blood sugar
✔️ Strengthen the immune system
✔️ Stimulate the production of serotonin (happiness hormone)
👉 Wenn du zu wenig Ballaststoffe isst, fehlt deinem Körper diese Unterstützung.
The consequences:
♦️ Tiredness
♦️ Mood swings
♦️ A weak immune system
❌ Myth 2: Too much fiber makes you bloated
Many people know this:
You eat more fiber - and suddenly your stomach rebels.
Flatulence, bloating... So better to stop again?
✅ What is really true:
It's not the fiber that's the problem - but too much at once!
Your microbiome needs time to get used to it.
📊 The National Nutrition Study II shows:
👉 Die meisten Menschen in Deutschland essen nur 18 bis 19 Gramm Ballaststoffe pro Tag.
👉 Empfohlen sind mindestens 30 Gramm täglich!
➡️ The solution is simple:
✔️ Start slowly and increase the quantity step by step
✔️ Give your body 1 to 2 weeks to adjust
✔️ Drink enough water - 1.5 to 2 liters a day
🚀 So kann dein Darm die Ballaststoffe optimal verarbeiten — ohne Nebenwirkungen.
❌ Myth 3: Fiber is difficult to integrate into everyday life
"I don't have time for elaborate recipes."
Or: "I don't like grains on my plate."
✅ What is really true:
Fiber is easy to incorporate into your meals!
And without stress or sacrifice.
➡️ A few simple examples:
🥣 Haferflocken zum Frühstück — zusammen mit Nüssen und Joghurt (Ballaststoffe + Eiweiß + Fett)
🥗 Kichererbsen oder Linsen als Teil deiner Hauptmahlzeit – z. B. im Salat oder Eintopf
🥬 Viel Gemüse zu Mittag oder Abendessen — am besten ballaststoffreich, z. B. Brokkoli, Spinat oder Grünkohl
🌰 Chiasamen oder Leinsamen in dein Frühstück oder Abendessen integrieren – z. B. im Porridge oder in einem Joghurt–Bowl nach einer Hauptmahlzeit
