SUN FAQs

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.

Most people don't need a complete dietary overhaul to improve fibre intake. Small changes throughout the day can make a meaningful difference.

Wholegrains are one of the most important sources of fibre, but they offer more than fibre alone. Wholegrains also contain naturally occurring vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals that can deliver additional health benefits. S.U.N Bites are 100% wholegrain as well as being high in fibre so a great option if you’re looking to increase your wholegrain intake too.
