Fibre

What is fibre?

Put simply, dietary fibre is the non-digestible carbohydrate found in plant food.
Fibre is essential for healthy digestion and overall gut health. Fibre is one of the key reasons whole plant foods are good for us.

There are three types of fibre:

  1. Soluble fibre
  2. Insoluble fibre
  3. Resistant starch
What are soluble and insoluble fibre - and what's the difference?

Soluble fibre forms a gel in water. In the intestine soluble fibre softens stools to help prevent constipation. It can be metabolised by the “good” bacteria in the gut. An example of soluble fibre includes psyllium.

Insoluble fibre adds bulk to and softens stools. It can also keep you feeling fuller for longer – it does not dissolve in water. Examples of insoluble fibre include the fibre in the husk of pepitas and sunflower kernels.

Natural Fibre contains both soluble and insoluble fibre which together promote fabulous, soft, daily bowel motions and prevent gut-related disorders!

What does "prebiotic" mean?

Prebiotic fibre is a type of fibre found in nearly all plant foods. Prebiotics feed the  bacteria in your gut and promote a happy microbiome.

Why do I need to include fibre in my diet?

Including fibre in your diet can help to promote regular bowel movements, lower cholesterol, prevent some types of cancer, help to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, as well as promote good gut health.

Which foods contain fibre?

Fibre is found in a range of plant foods. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, wholegrain breads and cereals, grains, wholemeal pasta as well as nuts and seeds all contain fibre.

How much fibre do I need?

The daily recommended dietary intakes for fibre are:

  • 30 grams for men
  • 25 grams for women

Natural Fibre with Psyllium provides 10 grams of fibre per 35 gram serve – more that 30% of your daily recommended intake.

Can I eat too much fibre?

Eating too much or too little fibre can cause digestive issues such as constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, wind or stomach pains. Remember to make sure you are drinking enough fluid, especially when increasing your fibre intake and gradually build up the amount fibre in your diet. Seek advice from a healthcare professional if you are concerned about your fibre intake or digestion.
