Essential for good health
Fibre has many health
benefits even though it isn’t
absorbed. For example,
wholegrain plant foods
contain fibre and tend to be
low GI.
Cleanses the body and
helps moderate blood
glucose levels and
appetite.
There are different types of

glucose release.

Adults should eat least 30g fibre
daily. Most manage around 20g each
day.
Getting enough fibre can
help to keep the digestive
system healthy and reduce
the risk of constipation,
diverticular disease,
haemorrhoids and
bowel cancer according to
the DAA.
Stripping
grains/fruit/veggies of
their outer coat
(bran/skin) means you
lose most of the fibre,
minerals and B vitamins.
High-fibre foods are good
for your health. If you’re
not used to a high fibre
diet, go slow. Give your
natural gut bacteria time to
adjust to the changes you’re
making. Also drink plenty
of water.
