High fibre foods to boost your intake, according to the NHS:
Start your day with a high-fibre breakfast cereal like Weetabix, Shredded wheat, porridge or bran flakes
Opt for wholemeal or granary bread - rye bread is particularly high in fibre - as well as wholegrains, like wholewheat pasta, bulgur wheat and brown rice
Choose skin-on potatoes like baked potato or new potatoes
Eat plenty of beans and pulses, like lentils and chickpeas. Add them to stews, curries or salads
Snack on fresh fruit, celery and carrot sticks, rye crackers, oatcakes, nuts and seeds
Add more veg to your meals
While everyone has been harping on about the benefits of complex high fat, low carb eating regimes, new research suggests that a much simpler approach might actually be the answer to living longer.
In a major new study, conducted over almost 40 years, published in The Lancet, a high-fibre diet was associated with reduced risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke and cancer.
Dietary sources of fibre include fresh fruit and veg, whole grains, pulses and nuts. Foods like lentils, kidney beans, artichokes and avocados, are particularly rich in fibre, which can aid digestion and prevent constipation, while also making you feel fuller for longer.
