Smart Way To Eat Fibre

Fibre

Most of us know we should include fibre in our diet, but as a nation we simply don't eat enough of it.

Despite its many health benefits, which include reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers, our average daily intake of fibre is just 18g - a third lower than the recommended 25g.

Under proposals from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (who advise the Government), this target is likely to rise to 30g.

The trend for avoiding carbohydrates isn't helping, says dietitian Sioned Quirke, a spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association.
