Wonderful wheat bran

All fibres are important, no matter what their source, and they all have different effects on the body.

Wheat bran is one of the most concentrated sources of fibre. There is more fibre in the wheat bran than other grains, such as oats and rice. And this fibre is great for bulking up waste and keeping things moving through the digestive system. In fact did you know that Wheat Bran fibre is the most superior cereal fibre to do this?

Are you getting enough?

80% of people in the UK don’t get enough fibre. As a guide, you should aim for 25g per day (GDA). From foods such as cereals (like wheat bran and oat bran), legumes (lentils, beans and peas), nuts, grains, fruit and vegetables.

Having a high fibre diet can help to maintain a healthy digestive system and reduce feelings of digestive discomfort such as bloating and generally feeling slow and sluggish.

Make the switch

How to get more fibre into your diet the easy way:

• Switch from white bread to high fibre and wholegrain varieties.
• Go for brown rice or whole wheat pasta instead of the white varieties.
• Opt for a handful of nuts or fresh or dried fruit instead of crisps, snack bars or biscuits.
• Try a wheat bran rich cereal such as All Bran for breakfast
