The Properties of Fibre

Fibre is a non-nutritional component of the diet, as it cannot be absorbed in the intestine. This means that it is still intact when it reaches the colon, where it helps to improve intestinal transit and nutrient assimilation.

There are two types of fibre: insoluble and soluble. Insoluble fibre helps to prevent constipation. Soluble fibre not only helps regulate intestinal transit, it also prevents colon cancer and keeps blood glucose and cholesterol levels down.

The recommended daily fibre intake is between 30 and 35 g a day.

Below is a list showing the fibre content of some common foods:

- 100 g of wheat contains 10.3 g of fibre. Why not try eating your wheat with COVAP's fibre-enriched milk.

- A large apple contains approximately 4 g of fibre.

- A bowl of cornflakes or cereal contains approximately 3 g of fibre.

- A medium potato with skin contains approximately 2 g of fibre.

- Four boiled asparagus stems contain approximately 1 g of fibre.

- A glass of fruit juice contains approximately 0.2 g of fibre.

To ensure that you get at least part of your recommended daily fibre intake, try pouring COVAP's fibre-enriched milk over your cereal or cornflakes.
