[U] Fibre & your health:[/U] A well balanced diet with the correct levels of fibre will stimulate proper elimination. This is necessary for the digestive system to work effectively & to ensure that the body can absorb all the nutrients it needs from foods. A clogged system can prevent the digestive system from functioning properly. Adequate fibre in the diet is now accepted as being vital for digestive regularity & good health. Most people only consume around 15g of fibre when in fact more that 25g are needed. Fibre helps to improve the transit of waste products which in turn can help overall health.
