Plant Fibres
Did you know that you should receive 25 to 30 grams per day of fibres?
These substances contribute to the feeling of satiety while having a reduced fat content, helping to maintain a healthy weight.
This is because they absorb fluids and swell in the digestive tract, so you don’t feel hungry and feel full until the next meal.
In addition to this, a diet with plant fibre shields health and contributes to better bowel function, reduces the risk of diabetes or heart disease.
More specifically, fibre is a necessary component of a proper and healthy diet because:
- It is the best anti-cancer of the intestine.
- They raise HDL, the good cholesterol, protecting the heart.
- They prevent and treat constipation.
- They reduce the glycaemic index of foods and protect against the onset of diabetes.
You will find them in foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grain products, oats, seeds or legumes.
Extra tip: Increase water consumption for better absorption by the body.
