Fibre is fantastic for promoting the health of your gut, and eating more of it in your diet will also help you lose weight. The presence of fibre in your gut slows down the absorption of sugars, and supports the range of beneficial bacteria in your gut, particularly in the large intestine.
Did you know? Most people, on average, eat less than half the recommended daily amount of fibre.
So eat more!
How to eat more fibre
Eat more these things:
- Bulgur wheat
- Leafy green vegetables
- Fruit like apples, pears, blackberries and raspberries.
If you like drinking fruit juices, a better option would be to eat the whole fruit to ensure you’re getting the fibre too.
