  1. Fibre explained Indigestible plant materials Not absorbed by the body Essential for good health

  2. Why you need fibre Fibre has many health benefits even though it isn’t absorbed. For example, wholegrain plant foods contain fibreand tend to be low GI.

  3. How it works Cleanses the body and helps moderate blood glucose levels and appetite. There are different types of fibre.

  4. Insoluble fibre Slows down eating time. Stays in the stomach triggering fullness. Helps move waste matter out of the intestine faster

  5. Soluble fibre Acts like a sponge. Prevents cholesterol reabsorption. Allows slower blood glucose release. Helps you feel fuller for longer.

  6. inulin A prebiotic that provides nourishment for beneficial bacteria in the intestines. Peas, beans, lentils and barley are good sources

  7. Fibre and weight-loss Whole grains can help you maintain a healthy weight range Adding Fibergy ™ to Nutrimeal™ can help you feel fuller for longer

  8. Fibre and gut health Fibre adds bulk making it is easier for waste to pass out of the body.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. Bowel Cancer Kills 12 Australians daily, over 4000 annually – the highest incidence in the world. Kills almost as many women as breast cancer.

  13. 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.

  14. How much is too much? Increase 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.

  15. Fibergy plus™ Bridges the gap if you’re low in fibre. Helps waste removal. Provides twice the fibre per serve like any other fibre supplement on the market in Australia.
