Fibre is derived from plants and is found in fruit, green leafy and root vegetables, whole meal flour and bread, bran rich food, brown rice, cereals including oats, beans and pulses. Fibre plays a vital role in the digestive process by softening the bile wastes and speeding up the process of elimination of undigested food thus helping to prevent constipation. The presence of fibre regulates the absorption of fats and glucose into the bloodstream.

Insufficient consumption of fibre may lead to the development of Colon cancer and increase levels blood cholesterol. It is recommended that at least five portions (25gms fibre) of vegetables and fruit should be eaten each day to provide necessary vitamins, minerals and fibre. Increase your fibre intake gradually and as you increase your fibre intake make sure that you increase your fluid intake as well.
