Dietary fibre is a type of carbohydrate that cannot be broken down by your digestive enzymes. Plant foods are high in fibre and include vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes and whole grains.

​

Experts recommend that you should eat 30 grams of fibre a day. A high dietary fibre intake lowers your risk of diabetes and keeps your bowel movements regular. You will also feel fuller throughout the day which helps you lose weight.
