We know it more and more: a healthy intestine is often the key to an organism that works well. To maintain this balance, fibers play a central role, still too often overlooked. And among the best allies of our intestinal flora, a red seasonal fruit is doing well: the raspberry.
Why are fibers important on a daily basis?
Although the nutritional recommendations advise consuming between 25 and 30 grams of fiber per day, the majority of the population consumes much less. More than 90 % of women and 97 % of men do not fulfill these objectives. It is true that attention is often on protein or other “fashionable” micronutrients. However, making sure to have enough fiber in his diet remains a fundamental pillar of health. And for good reason: many studies have shown that fibers play a key role in intestinal health, digestion, weight regulation, bone solidity, but also in the prevention of chronic diseases and the maintenance of good longevity. So where to find them? In a carefully chosen diet.
Raspberry, the fiber ally that you did not expect
And for good intestinal health, the dietician-nutritionist Alexandra Murcier puts on raspberry.
“”With 6 to 7 grams of fibers per 100 g, raspberries are among the fruit richest in food fiber“, Underlines our expert. This high rate promotes a regular intestinal transit, in particular thanks to the soluble fibers they contain.
In addition, the raspberries that one savoring nature or with a yogurt have a prebiotic effect. They serve as food for the good bacteria present in our intestine, thus contributing to the balance of the intestinal microbiota, an essential pillar of our immunity and our overall well-being.
But that’s not all: “Raspberry fibers are also rich in antioxidants, especially in flavonoids, which help reduce intestinal inflammation“, Specifies Alexandra Murcier. These compounds protect cells from the intestinal wall against oxidative stress, while participating in better resilience in the face of chronic digestive disorders.
In summary, integrating raspberries into his diet, fresh or frozen is to offer his intestine a natural boost. One handle per day is enough to do good … from the inside.
