FIBRE EXPLAINEDIndigestible plant
materials
Not absorbed by the body
Essential for good health
WHY YOU NEED FIBREFibre has many health benefits even though it
isn’t absorbed. For example, wholegrain
plant foods contain fibre and tend to be low GI.
HOW IT WORKSCleanses the body and helps moderate blood
glucose levels and appetite.
There are different types of fibre.
INSOLUBLE FIBRESlows down eating
time.Stays in the stomach triggering fullness.Helps move waste matter out of the intestine faster
SOLUBLE FIBREActs like a sponge.
Prevents cholesterol reabsorption.
Allows slower blood glucose release.
Helps you feel fuller for longer.
INULINA prebiotic that
provides nourishment for beneficial bacteria
in the intestines. Peas, beans, lentils and barley are good
sources
FIBRE AND WEIGHT-LOSS
Whole grains can help you maintain a
healthy weight range Adding Fibergy ™ to
Nutrimeal™ can help you feel fuller
for longer
FIBRE AND GUT HEALTH
Fibre adds bulk making it is easier for waste to pass out of
the body.
ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH?
Getting enough fibre can help to keep the
digestive system healthy and reduce the risk of
constipation, diverticular disease, haemorrhoids
andbowel cancer according
to the DAA.Adults should eat least 30g fibre daily. Most manage around 20g each day.
ARE YOU GETTING ENOUGH?
Stripping grains/fruit/veggies of
their outer coat (bran/skin) means you lose most of the fibre,
minerals and B vitamins.
GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH
High-fibre foods are good for your health. If
you’re not used to a high fibre diet, go slow. Give your natural gut
bacteria time to adjust to the changes you’re
making. Also drink plenty of water.
BOWEL CANCERKills 12 Australians
daily, over 4000 annually – the
highest incidence in the world.
Kills almost as many women as breast cancer.
LOVE YOUR GUT!Choose bread with the
wheat germ intactChoose breads with
visible seeds for extra fibre and vitamins.
Soy and linseeds may help with menopausal
symptoms.
HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?Increase fibre intake
slowly – a sudden switch can lead to
abdominal pain and flatulence.
Very high-fibre levels (over 40g a day) may reduce absorption of
minerals e.g. iron, zinc and calcium.
