Fibre is not only good for our bowel health, it can also help keep our hearts healthy and our blood sugar more stable. In rural Africa, where far higher levels of fibre are consumed than in the west – their average daily intake is estimated to be 55g per day – bowel disease is virtually unheard of. There are 2 main types of fibre, soluble and insoluble. It is the soluble fibre that is attracting more attention these days because it can be so beneficial for our general well-being as well as bowel health. The reason for this is that soluble fibre, when mixed with water, forms a type of ‘goo’ which is very viscous by nature. It is this characteristic which helps to prevent waste matter in the bowels from drying up, thus making it easier to pass. Psyllium Husks and Oat fibre are useful types of fibre because they are so soluble by nature. Suitable for Diabetics The ‘gooey’ effect of soluble fibre also makes it useful for our general well-being as well as bowel health. The gel the fibre forms in the gut also delays the absorption of sugar from food and this may be beneficial to Diabetics. Healthy Heart For the same reason, soluble fibre may also help keep your heart healthy as well! Studies in the US have shown that soluble fibre, when used as part of a diet low in fat, may reduce the risk of heart disease by reducing the levels of cholesterol absorbed. Bowel-benefit-bar This bar has been formulated to provide an easy and tasty way to get extra fibre in your diet. It contains a combination of fruits, fibre and Inulin (prebiotics) which we know are important for the health of the bowel. It is an ideal addition to the diet if you have sluggish bowels.
