Fibre-Rich Fruits For Gut Health
Add a dose of high fibre to your diet with these fruits:
Berries
Berries including raspberries and strawberries are packed with about 8 grams of fibre per cup. Consuming them together provides plenty of nutrients beyond fibre, such as antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The best way to consume berries daily is to top them up with yoghurt or oatmeal with a handful of berries every morning. You may also use frozen berries and make a refreshing fruit and yoghurt smoothie to kickstart your morning.
Pears
Pears are a delicious and fibrous fall fruit which is a great addition to your diet. To reap the full fibre benefits, enjoy pears with their skin, which is known to have good fibre content. Pears also boast a low glycemic index, which means their natural sugars are absorbed gradually, preventing sudden spikes in blood sugar levels. For a delicious and healthy treat, try baking pears or incorporating them into salads like the Roasted Butternut Squash & Pear Quinoa Salad.
