Fibre is the indigestible part of plant foods and is an essential macronutrient that helps to keep our digestive systems healthy and functioning well. Fibre plays an important role in keeping us ‘regular’ but it is also protective against bowel disorders and heart disease. Diets that are high in fibre can also help in weight control and support a normal appetite and balanced blood sugar levels.
There are 2 types of dietary fibre: soluble and insoluble.
Soluble fibre acts like a sponge, absorbing fluid in the gut making the bowel contents softer and able to move more easily. Soluble fibre also helps to lower cholesterol absorption and improve blood sugar control, and helps to slow the emptying process in our stomachs making us feel fuller for longer. Insoluble fibre is what we think of as ‘roughage’ - it adds bulk to waste, helping to keep us regular and prevent constipation.
Some types of fibre such as inulin ferment in the colon to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA’s). These essential molecules play a crucial role in gut health: they are the main source of energy for intestinal cells and also act as a prebiotic—an important fuel source for the friendly microflora that inhabit the gut. SCFA’s also inhibit the growth of disease-causing bacteria and may help us to absorb certain minerals, especially calcium. SCFA’s may also be absorbed by the body where they are used for hormone production, cholesterol synthesis and as an energy source.
Fibre is found naturally in fruits, veges, grains and legumes but getting enough of these foods into our kids every day can be a challenge. Diets that include processed and refined foods are typically low in fibre and children often miss out on this essential nutrient. Radiance® Kids Sugar Free Fibre Gummies are a delicious and convenient way for your kids to top up their daily fibre intake and optimise gut health, regularity and a balanced appetite.
If your child doesn’t like taking vitamins in their traditional format or finds it hard to swallow tablets and capsules, then Radiance® Kids Sugar Free Fibre Gummies are the ideal alternative. They are delicious, convenient and easy to take, with no water required for swallowing.
