We understand that meeting the daily recommended intake of 25-30g of fibre can be a challenge for many Australian adults. However, consuming adequate amounts of fibre is crucial for maintaining healthy gut function, promoting stable blood sugar levels, and reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases.
As we age, it becomes even more important to prioritise fibre intake since the digestive system slows down over time.
Thankfully, it is possible to achieve the recommended daily fibre intake by incorporating fibre-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole-grain cereals, and legumes into your daily diet.
By making conscious choices to include these foods, you can promote a healthier lifestyle and take steps towards reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Our high-fibre snack guide below can help you choose snacks that will support your daily fibre goals.
