FIBRE is important to our digestive system.
Women under 50 years need about 25 grams a day while men under 50 years need about 38 grams.
[ihc-hide-content ihc_mb_type=”show” ihc_mb_who=”2,3,5″ ihc_mb_template=”1″ ]Fibre helps to bulk up our stools and keeps waste moving through our intestines, preventing constipation.
Some fibre also has prebiotics, which is food for the good bacteria in our digestive tract.
A high fibre diet can also help lower chances of getting a serious intestinal problem like diverticulitis (a condition where pouches in the wall of the colon cause waste to become trapped), as well as ease symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
It can also help cut your risk of certain cancers, lower your cholesterol, and help keep your blood sugar balanced.
