What is fibre?
Fibre is the indigestible parts of plant foods, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, beans and legumes. It is type of a carbohydrate that helps keep our digestive systems healthy.

There are three different types of fibre which all have different functions and health benefits.

Soluble fibre helps to slow the emptying process in our stomachs, which helps you feel fuller. It also helps to lower cholesterol and stabilise your blood glucose levels.

Soluble fibre is found in fruits, vegetables, oats, barley and legumes.

Insoluble fibre absorbs water to help to soften the contents of our bowels and support regular bowel movements.
It also helps to keep us full and keep the bowel environment healthy.
Insoluble fibre is found in whole grain breads and cereals, nuts, seeds, wheat bran and the skin of fruit and vegetables.

Resistant starch is not digested in the small intestine and instead proceeds to the large intestine where it can assist
in the production of good bacteria and improves bowel health.

Resistant starch is found in undercooked pasta, under ripe bananas, cooked and cooled potato and rice.

Why is fibre important?
Dietary fibre is important for our digestive health and regular bowel
movements.

Fibre also helps you feel fuller for longer, can improve cholesterol and blood sugar levels and can assist in preventing some diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and bowel cancer.
