Nutrition Tip - Gut Health!

Want to know one seriously simple habit that can strengthen your gut health?

When it comes to prepping veg for your dinner or grabbing a piece of fruit for a snack, leave the peel ON & here's the science behind why:

Fibre is so important due to its critical role in keeping your gut happy. Up to half of a vegetable's total fibre can be found in its skin! It's not only the skin of plants like carrots, potatoes and apples that can benefit you. Eat the skin of a kiwi and you'll get +50% more fibre. If you don't like the fuzzy texture, try slicing it really thinly and you'll hardly notice it!

The benefits go beyond fibre intake too. Lots of gut-loving nutrients live in the peel…for example the skin-on a boiled potato has up to 175% more vitamin C, 110% more magnesium and 115% more potassium.

Of course keeping the skin on isn't always possible but where it makes sense and tasty to do so, this is an easy hack that can stack up to real change overall!
