What Is Fibermaxxing?
Fibermaxxing is a new health trend taking over TikTok and Google searches, where people intentionally increase their daily fiber intake to improve gut health, reduce inflammation, and boost digestion.
But while this trend has real science behind it, jumping into high-fiber diets too fast can lead to bloating, gas, or constipation. This guide will show you how to start fibermaxxing safely and effectively, even as a beginner.
Why Is Fiber So Important for Gut Health?
Fiber isn’t digested by your body—instead, it feeds your good gut bacteria. These bacteria turn fiber into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which:
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve digestion
- Support a stronger immune system
- Balance blood sugar and cholesterol
- Fiber also helps regulate bowel movements and gives you a longer feeling of fullness.
