With the New Year in full swing, we’re all making small changes to our lifestyles to better our health. An essential part of our diets that we don’t talk about enough is fibre. Fibre has been shown to help support your immunity, reduce your chances of
developing Type 2 diabetes, heart diseases and certain cancers, like breast cancer and colon cancer. According to most sources, adult women should consume between 21 and 25 grams of fibre per day while men should be eating between 30 and 38 grams per day. Here are some examples of healthy fibrous snacks that will leave you satisfied.

Pear and Walnut 

This combo is perfect for someone with a sweet tooth! Your pear will provide you with approximately 3.1 grams of fibre, and your walnuts will add around 7 grams of fibre for every 100 grams of walnuts you eat!

Oranges and a Handful of Nuts 

There’s a pattern of matching fruits with nuts, but what can we say? It’s such a delicious and healthy combo! This combo offers you a mix of sweet and salty while adding a whole 6 grams of fibre to your nutrient intake!
