Fibre can lower blood sugar, cut cholesterol and can even prevent colon cancer. Forget the rhyme, these foods will keep your system in check and, like your mammy would say, “keep you regular”.
Not enough of us talk about it, but we should do a Gillian McKeith on it and talk more about our toilet habits. How often do you go? And is it always a healthy-looking whats-it?
Women should get about 25 grams of fibre a day and men should get at least 35 to 40. Eating fibre-rich whole foods is the best way to increase your fibre intake… and keep your system in check.
