Fiber impacts your overall health

There's no shortage of advice about what to eat, including hype about the latest superfoods that will help you live to 100, or about the newest restrictive diets that claim to help you lose weight and look beautiful. As a researcher from the Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute, I'm well aware that there is no universal "healthy diet" that will work for everyone.

However, most professionals would agree that a diet should be well balanced between the food groups, and it's better to include more things like vegetables and fermented foods in your diet than restrict yourself unnecessarily. Eating foods that promote gut health improves your overall health too.
