What is Fibre and why do I need it in my diet?
Strong evidence shows that eating plenty of fibre, also known as roughage, is associated with a decreased risk of stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers including bowel cancer and it lowers the risk of cardiovascular heart disease. Choosing foods that are high in fibre makes us feel fuller for longer and can aid weight loss. A diet that’s rich in fibre will help digestion and prevent constipation as well!
Tips to Improve Fibre Intake
The NHS offers the following tips to improve fibre intake and caveat these tips by explaining “It’s important to get fibre from a variety of sources, as eating too much of one type of food may not provide you with a healthy balanced diet.”
To increase your fibre intake, you might consider:
- Choosing a high-fibre breakfast such as wholewheat cereals including Weetabix or plain, shredded whole grain (Shredded wheat), or porridge as oats is a great source of fibre, as we know.
- Consume wholemeal (brown) or granary bread, or if you really can’t stand brown bread then high-fibre white bread.
- Substitute white pasta for wholewheat pasta, bulgur wheat or brown rice.
- Keep the skins on potatoes as potato skins are an extremely positive source of fibre. The NHS shares an article on the importance of starchy foods and carbohydrates in our diet.
- Pulses including beans, lentils and chickpeas are an easy addition to most stews, curries and salads and they’re very high in fibre.
- Include plenty of fruits and vegetables with meals, as side dishes or as snacks. A mixture of different fruits and vegetables, as well as fresh and dried, canned fruits and natural fruit juices are all great options and add variety to your diet. Be mindful of dried fruits though, as these typically have a greater concentration of natural sugar content (because the water content is removed) and therefore there is a greater risk of dental issues which may arise from eating dried fruits if our dental hygiene isn’t on point.
- Unsalted nuts and seeds are great sources of fibre and they’re very filling with really healthy fats!
