Fibre explained

Indigestible plant materials

Not absorbed by the body

Essential for good healthSlide3

Why you need fibre

Fibre has many health benefits even though it isn’t absorbed. For example, wholegrain plant

foods contain

fibre

and tend to be low GI.Slide4

How it works

Cleanses

the

body and helps moderate blood glucose levels and appetite.

There are different types of fibre.Slide5

Insoluble fibre

Slows down eating time.

Stays in the stomach triggering fullness.

Helps move waste matter out of the intestine fasterSlide6

Soluble fibre

Acts like a sponge.

Prevents cholesterol reabsorption.

Allows slower blood glucose release.

Helps you feel fuller for longer.Slide7

inulin

A prebiotic that provides nourishment for beneficial bacteria in the intestines.

Peas, beans, lentils and barley are good sourcesSlide8

Fibre and weight-loss

W

hole grains can help you maintain a healthy weight range

Adding

Fibergy

™ to

Nutrimeal™

can help you feel fuller for longerSlide9

Fibre and gut health

Fibre adds bulk making it is easier for waste to pass out of the body. Slide10

Are you getting enough?

Getting

enough fibre can help to keep the digestive system healthy and reduce the risk

of constipation

, diverticular disease, haemorrhoids and

bowel

cancer according to the DAA.

Adults should eat least 30g fibre daily. Most manage around 20g each day. Slide11

Are you getting enough?

Stripping grains/fruit/veggies of their outer coat (bran/skin) means you lose most of the

fibre, minerals

and B vitamins.Slide12

Good for your health

High-fibre foods are good for your health.

If

you’re not used to a high fibre diet,

go

slow.

Give your natural gut bacteria time

to adjust to the changes you’re making. Also drink plenty of water. Slide13

Bowel Cancer

Kills 12 Australians daily, over 4000 annually – the highest incidence in the world.

Kills almost as many women as breast cancer.Slide14

Love your gut!

Choose

bread

with

the

wheat germ intact

Choose breads

with visible

seeds for extra fibre and vitamins.

Soy

and linseeds may help with

menopausal symptoms.Slide15

How much is too much?

I

ncrease fibre

intake

slowly – a

sudden switch can lead to abdominal pain and flatulence.

Very

high-fibre

levels

(over 40g a day)

may reduce absorption

of minerals

e.g. iron

, zinc and calcium. Slide16
