1 Information About Fibre Food Sources of Fibre Fibre includes all parts of plant foods that your body can't digest or absorb. Fibre is also known as roughage or bulk. Insoluble fibre helps promote regularity and a healthy digestive system. You get this type of fibre from wheat bran, whole grains, and some vegetables. Soluble fibre helps lower blood cholesterol levels and control blood sugar levels. You get this type of fibre from oats, barley, psyllium, oranges, dried beans and lentils. A high fibre diet may also help prevent colon cancer. Eating high fibre foods may help you feel full for a longer time, which helps with appetite and weight control. How Much Fibre Do I Need? Most Canadians only get half of the fibre they need every day. Increase your fibre intake slowly and drink more fluids as your fibre intake increases. This will help the fibre to work better and prevent gas, bloating and diarrhea. So far, there is no upper limit for fibre. Therefore a high intake of fibre from food should not be a problem for healthy people. Age in Years Daily Fibre Needs grams(g)/day Do Not Exceed g/day Men 19 to There is no upper limit for fibre. Men 51 and older 30 Women 19 to Women 51 and older 21 Pregnant Women 19 and older Breastfeeding Women 19 and older Page 1 of 5
