Fiber – why do we need it and where can we get it?

Healthy eating is becoming more and more popular, and one very important nutrient group is fiber, which helps maintain a normal weight, promotes digestion, prevents cardiovascular disease and high blood sugar levels, and also promotes the elimination of cholesterol from the body. Sounds wonderful? Let's talk more about it right away!

Fiber is only found in plants, and the daily amount of fiber needed depends on a person's daily energy needs, remaining around 30 grams. You can calculate your daily need very easily - per 100 kcal, the daily amount of fiber should be 13 grams. But as with any good thing, it is definitely not worth consuming fiber constantly and in large quantities, because there may be a risk that the body will no longer be able to absorb minerals.

While whole grain products such as rye bread, whole wheat bread, brown rice, groats, whole grain rice and whole grain cereals are generally known as sources of fibre, experts recommend that you eat colourful fruits, vegetables and legumes instead of bread. This will also have a better effect on your weight. You can also get the fibre you need for a healthy and active life from delicious and healthy MySnack snacks!
