Bowel Health and Diet: What You Eat Matters
Looking after your bowel health is one of the most important things you can do for your overall wellbeing - and diet plays a key role. The foods we eat not only fuel our bodies but also support the function and long-term health of our digestive system.
A diet high in fibre, rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes, helps keep things moving and supports a healthy gut environment. Limiting processed foods, red meat, and alcohol can also lower your risk of developing bowel-related conditions, including bowel cancer.
Staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy weight further contribute to good bowel function.
While not all bowel conditions are preventable, making informed, everyday choices can make a real difference. If you’re unsure where to start, or are experiencing persistent symptoms, seeking advice from a qualified dietitian or medical specialist can help you take control of your bowel health.
