Fibre is a type of carbohydrate found naturally in plant foods that our bodies cannot fully digest. Instead, it passes through the digestive system where it supports a range of important functions.
Fibre is found in foods such as:
- Wholegrains
- Fruit and vegetables
- Pulses and legumes
- Nuts and seeds
Research shows that diets rich in fibre are associated with significant health benefits, including:
- Supporting digestive health and regular bowel function
- Helping beneficial gut bacteria thrive
- Supporting heart health
- Helping manage blood sugar levels
- Supporting long-term health and wellbeing
Higher fibre intakes are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer.
