Fibre

This is an essential part of a healthy diet as it assists with proper function of the digestive system. Sources of fibre include wholegrains such as rice, pasta, bread and oats; fruit and vegetables; and lentils and beans. Fibre is a very important part of our diet, but many people do not consume enough of it on a daily basis; most people in the UK consume 4g less than the recommended minimum of 18g.
