Fibre occurs naturally in varying quantities in all vegetables and cereals. Our body can’t do without fibre because it’s essential for our intestinal health and general wellbeing. It improves our digestive comfort, helping us to feel full and regulating blood sugar and cholesterol. It also nourishes our intestinal flora\u2026 So we shouldn’t skimp on fibre in our daily diet!<\/p>\n

What is fibre?<\/h3>\n

Fibre is a nutritional component that is not absorbed but helps to promote intestinal flora and digestive transit. Foods rich in fibre include fruit, vegetables, pulses and wholegrain cereals. It is important to have as many sources of fibre as possible: the more varied they are, the greater the diversity of bacteria\u2026 It’s a measure of our intestinal health!<\/p>\n

What are the different types of fibre?<\/h3>\n

There are two types of fibre, soluble and insoluble, but each is important.
\nSoluble fibre nourishes our intestinal flora, protecting the wall of the intestine and slowing the absorption of fat and sugar. Insoluble fibre, like bran or oats, give bulk to undigested materials and speed up the evacuation of toxins. Fibre that only nourishes good bacteria, rather than harmful bacteria, is called prebiotic.<\/p>\n
