Forget skibidi, brat summer, and demure - 2025's word of the year is fibre.
Coming in as a major health focus for the year, it looks like more than 90% of us aren't getting enough of this nutrient. Fibre might not be chic, but it's got a whole range of positive benefits, including for your heart, your weight, and your fabulous colon. Current NHS guidelines recommend 30g of fibre per day - luckily, there are some easy ways to up your own intake and join that exclusive 10% of us who are hitting our fibre targets.
Swap your white bread for something a bit more colourful
We all love a slice of Wonderbread, but white isn't the way to go when we're looking for something more digestion-friendly. Instead, try changing out your loaf for a wholemeal, rye, or granary loaf. Guild Of Dough's classic sourdough is made with a blend of flours that not only tastes great, but is also a fantastic way of boosting your fibre intake for the day. For an extra punch of fibre and favour, pick up one of our kimchi sourdoughs - packed with prebiotics, the extra fibre (and flavour!) from the kimchi makes this one indulgent alternative.
Beans, beans, good for the heart?
It's not quite gourmet cuisine, but this British classic packs a fibre-boosting bunch. One serving of baked beans can contain around 8g of fibre - chuck them on some toast, and you could be meeting half of your daily fibre target in just one meal. Want to take it even further? Skip the cheese in favour of nutritional yeast for a fibre-packed flavour bomb.
Functional over fizz
Rather than picking a big-brand soda to go with your sandwich, opt for one of the new functional drinks that are available. While other brands might be boasting about their nootropic benefits, the Guild Of Dough team has started stocking Fibe to help you get on your way to your 30g target. Each can contains 5g of easily-accessible fibre - and, with flavours like Fruit Punch, Lush Limeonade, and Zesty Orange, there's something for everyone.
Whether you're a fibre fan or a fibre fiend, make 2025 the year you follow your gut - to better gut health!
