Most of us are well aware that we need to include foods rich in fibre in our daily diets. However, having the knowledge and actually being able to make it happen are often two different things!
Fibre is a vital part of a healthy diet, but most of us are getting less than half the recommended amount. Depending on their age and sex, children require between 19 and 38 grams of fiber per day.* A healthy adult needs 21 to 38 grams a day;* but, studies show the average daily Canadian intake of fibre is approximately half of the daily requirement.{*Canadian Heart & Stroke Foundation}
Good sources of fibre can be found mainly in grain products, vegetables and fruit as well as, meat alternatives such as beans and lentils. Despite our best efforts, it is often fairly difficult to get the recommended amounts of fiber in our diets each day.
I have found an simple and delicious way to boost my daily fibre intake and it couldn’t be easier. Just one serving of fibre 1 Almond & Cluster Delight cereal has a whooping 10 grams of fibre! Depending on your age and sex, that is an average of approximately 40% of your daily value of fibre per serving.
Made with slightly sweetened whole grain flakes, sliced almonds and sweet, crunchy almond-filled clusters it couldn’t be simpler to boost your fibre intake even more by munching on a handful or two at break time or sprinkling a little fibre 1 cereal on your yogurt or salads.
