Day 24
Fantastic fibre – AGAIN, it’s the last one, I promise
Just to make sure you’re well and truly indoctrinated into the benefits of fantastic fibre, we’ll focus on it one more day. Getting the recommended 30-35 grams of fibre in everyday may seem like a difficult task, but it’s not that hard. Often all you will need to do is replace a few refined foods with high-fibre options and you’ll be well on your way.
Here’s some tips from the HBPG team!
- Beans. All beans are good, whether baked beans, beans like kidney beans in chilli or beans in salads. Half a tin of baked beans (200g) is 7g of fibre.
- Wholegrain and wholemeal. Skip white bread and pasta, look out for wholegrain and wholemeal on the labels.
- Brown or wholegrain rice. White rice doesn't offer as much fibre.
- Nuts. Almonds, pecans, and walnuts have more fibre than other nuts
- Bran based cereal and other healthy cereal options. To count as high-fibre food, it has to contain at least 6g of fibre per 100g.
- Porridge. Porridge is made from oats, which are a great source of fibre.
- Fruit and veg. At least 5-a-day portions and the crunchier the better. A medium-sized apple alone is 2g fibre
Getting a good chunk of your daily fibre in the morning, via breakfast and some mid morning fruit, is a simple and easy way to not only ensure you’re getting your daily dose, but also creating some healthy flush cycles for your body to keep you sparkling on the inside.
(Just a note, don’t look too closely, it shouldn’t actually sparkle. if it does, see your doctor)
