High-Fibre Foods
Most people's diets are lacking in fresh fruit and vegetables.
Often, cooking vegetables and fruit can destroy or reduce the
effectiveness of the nutrients they contain. Try to make a place
for fresh salads and fruit in your diet.When
choosing foods, look for those with lots of dietary fibre. Dietary fibre moves
through the bowel largely undigested, forming the necessary 'bulk' to keep food moving
smoothly and regularly.
Some examples of high-fibre foods are: |
|
- Fruits: apples, pears, bananas, dried apricots
- Vegetables: carrots, asparagus, broccoli, potato
- Legumes: lentils, peas, soy (tofu)
- Cereals: bran, brown rice, wholemeal bread
