08 The Fibre Factor

The health benefits of a high-fibre diet are numerous. The average person falls far short of meeting the fibre recommendation of 25 to 30 grams a day. In fact, most of us only eat about 15 grams. Most people are aware that fibre maintains normal bowel function.

For those wanting to lose weight, a high-fibre diet is a great way to go. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains have fewer calories "per bite" than foods that have a lot of fat and sugar. Also, fibre keeps food in the stomach longer and absorbs water so they provide the sensation of fullness.
