Fibre: Also known as roughage keeps your digestive system healthy and functioning properly and helps to process food and absorb nutrients. Fibre will help to speed up the excretion of waste and toxins for the body, preventing the waste and toxins from sitting in the intestines for too long. Fibre contains no vitamins or calories but cat can help lower blood cholesterol and helps to control your appetite. There are two main types of fibre, insoluble and soluble.
Insoluble fibre can help prevent constipation and is found in:
E.g. Brown rice, lentils, fruits with edible seeds, lentils, oats, wholegrain pasta, wholegrain breads, wholegrain cereals.
Soluble fibre can help lower control blood sugar and cholesterol levels and is found in:
E.g. All fruit and vegetables but rich in apples, barley, citrus, oats, pears.
A guideline of how much fibre and adult should consume per day would be 18g.
