Let’s talk a little on Fibre.
Lets face it, most of you aren’t eating enough of it as you’re all too scared and still believe in the myth Carbohydrates make you Fat…
So when it comes to “Weight management”.
High-fibre and wholegrain foods help a person to maintain a healthy body weight 🤯.
Foods rich in complex carbohydrates tend to be low in fat and added sugars and can therefore promote weight loss by delivering less energy- per bite. In addition, as dietary fibre absorbs water from the digestive juices, it swells, creating feelings of fullness and delaying hunger.
Don’t mistaken this for being bloated.. you’re just full 😂
* To maximise your dietary fibre intake:
eat wholegrain breakfast cereals
eat fruits (such as pears) and vegetables (such as potatoes) with their skins
choose wholegrain breads, brown rice and wholemeal pasta
add legumes to soups, salads and casseroles
eat fresh and dried fruit for snacks.
But wait there’s more!
Dietary fibre enhances the health of the large intestine. The healthier the intestinal walls, the better they can block absorption of unwanted constituents. Fibre such as cellulose (as in cereal brans, fruits and vegetables) increases stool weight, easing passage and reducing transit time.
Meaning healthier and better poops!! 💩
Dietary fibre helps to alleviate or prevent constipation.
But for this you’ll also need to drink plenty of fluids to help the fibre pass through 😂💦
