Do you want to support your digestion, boost your immune system, and reduce your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels?

Perhaps you would like to maintain a healthy blood-sugar level, aid your heart in health, and decrease your risk of a stroke?

Could something as simple as fibre be what you require for weight loss and weight management?

Most people know they need plenty of protein, vitamins and minerals in their diet to stay in peak condition. Many are surprised to find out that fibre is also vitally important for good health, but it tends to be overlooked.

You need fibre to properly process and digest the food that you eat. Without a sufficient amount, you may become susceptible to intestinal disorders such as diverticulitis or constipation.

Fibre feeds the good flora bacteria, called probiotics, which live in your bowels. Making sure to have enough fibre daily is important for the flora to thrive.

There are many studies on the benefits of fibre and how it can boost your health. Some of the potential benefits include the following:

• Supports your digestive system
• boosts the immune system
• may reduce your LDL cholesterol levels and
• maintain a healthy blood-sugar level
• aids in heart health and decreases the risk of stroke
• weight loss and management
• skin health and many more benefits are being researched

Making sure that you get fibre in your diet is important for overall good health. The recommended daily intake of fibre for an adult should be in the region of 30g measured by the AOAC method.

Today’s busy lifestyle may signify that even people who are health-focused can still have trouble reaching their daily requirement.
