Fibre in foods is linked with plenty of health benefits. Eating enough fibre (present in plant foods) can help your bowels function more effectively - which means avoiding the ills of constipation.
In addition, the soluble fibre found in many fruits and vegetables may even help to make the fats carried in your blood healthier too.
If you need a snack between meals, choosing wisely can help to bump up your fibre intake for the day. Try a handful of berries, cherry tomatoes or nuts to keep the wolf from the door and take in more of the good stuff.
As you increase your fibre intake make sure you drink plenty of water too.
