Are you getting enough dietary fibre daily? According to Malaysia's Recommended Nutrient Intake, women and men are recommended to consume 25g and 38g of dietary fibre respectively per day. However, Malaysian adults don't meet the recommended needs, with an average of 19.2g dietary fibre intake per day. Fibre is a type of carbohydrate which the body cannot digest and is an essential nutrient needed by the body.

There are two types of dietary fibre, soluble fibre dissolves and forms a gel, which gives stool bulk. Soluble fibre can help reduce blood cholesterol level, reduce blood sugar and makes you feel full. Food sources of soluble fibre include apple, citrus fruits, beans and oats.

While insoluble fibre softens stool and helps to promote bowel movement and improve constipation. Food sources of insoluble fibre include whole-wheat grains, nuts, potatoes, cauliflower and green beans.
