To Your Health: Fibremaxxing

Dec 16, 2025 | 6:00 AM

PRINCE GEORGE – A new health trend is taking over social media, but unlike many online fads, experts say it’s worth paying attention to. It’s called “fibremaxxing,” and it’s all about adding more fibre to your diet.

On social media, health trends come and go, and many of them don’t have much science behind them. The newest one, called fibremaxxing, is encouraging people to eat more fibre.

At its core, fibremaxxing is simple: eat more fibre. Health experts say it’s essential to understand which foods contain fibre.

Experts warn against taking the trend too far. They note that whole foods like fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains are the best way to boost fibre safely. Health experts also remind people that balance matters.
