‘The bacteria in our gut are living organisms and, as such, need substance to survive – the preferred component being fibre,’ says Chapman. ‘When bacteria digest fibre, they produce short-chain fatty acids that nourish the gut bacteria, improve immunity and prevent inflammation. As oats are a decent source of fibre, it may be a nice idea to include them in your diet to help with your gut health. Aim to eat at least 30g of fibre a day to help with this.’

お通じには確かに効く。けど私はゆで卵だけでもお通じ問題ないからな…。

dense

But, if you do have a specific fitness aim – such as losing weight or gaining muscle mass – then you will need to pay closer attention to what you eat. ‘It’s key to try and opt for nutritionally dense choices to help provide the body with all the essential nutrients needed to succeed,’ says Chapman.
