Fibermaxxing,” a new TikTok trend, can be great for your gut and overall health, experts say. Here’s how to do it right.

If you've gotten into the bad habit of tossing every last thing into your kitchen sink's garbage disposal, it's time to break the habit for these fibrous foods.

California gastroenterologist Saurabh Sethi is sharing four simple ways to quickly improve gut health — consume probiotics, prebiotics, high-fiber foods and more water.

Eat 30-plus different high fibre plant foods per week. Prioritise prebiotic fruits and vegetables such as asparagus, onions, garlic, leeks, Jerusalem artichokes, apples, berries and bananas.

“Foods to start eating to combat heart disease are fibrous foods. These will be your vegetables, fruits, beans, peas, lentils, and whole-grain foods like quinoa, barley, and farro,” she says.

Foods like kimchi and uncooked sauerkraut are particularly beneficial because they contain both probiotics and the fibrous prebiotics. "We're essentially shooting two birds with one stone," she said.
