WHY DO WE NEED FIBRE IN OUR DIET?
- Strong evidence supports the notion that eating more fibre, or "roughage," lowers the risk of colon cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. We feel fuller after eating fibre-rich foods, and a diet high in fibre helps aid digestion and prevent constipation
- Foods containing fibre can satisfy your hunger without providing many calories, which is helpful if you're trying to lose weight!
