But what is fibre, and how do we go about increasing it in our diets. Dietary fibre is the part of plant foods that man cannot digest. It is not found in any animal foods. Die- tary fibre can be divided into two groups: soluble and insoluble fi- bres. Soluble fibres dissolve in water and arc found in significant propor- tions in beans, oats and some fruits and vegetables. Research suggests that these fibres niay play a role in• lowering blood cholesterol levels by increasing its elimination in the stools. Soluble fibres have also been shown to slow the digestion of carbohydrates and the. entry of sugar into the bloodstream. This property is of special interest in the management of diabetes. Foods such as wheat bran, whole grains, and some vegetables contain predominantly insoluble fibres. These fibres. have. the ability to re- tain water; increase stool size and therefore promote regularity. Recent research also suggests that a diet high in fibre may help prevent or treat some diseases of the colon. North Americans cat less fibre to- day than they did a century ago. The removal of fibre from the diet may be one reason why there is a higher - caloric intake, and why excess weight is a problem in our society.. Fibrc in the diet creates a feeling of fullness in the stomach, which may cut down on the amount of food eaten. The result? Higher fibre and fewer 'calories arc consumed. A good com- parison is apple juicc versus apples. One glass of apple juice contains the same calories as two apples, but the latter contains much more fibre, and helps fill you'up more. The question of how much fibre we need is not easily answered, but there is agreement that thost people need more than they are currently getting. Since the various types of fibre are not found in just one type of food, the best recommendation is Times -Advocate, February 17, 1968 atm 9 -. _net? his .Z/;.j Increase dietary fibre to increase cohsumption from a va- • sprinkle a little over ice cream, ricty of sources.

Toss into salads, spaghetti sauce or casseroles. • wheat. bran is not the only source of dietary fibre. Oat bran can also be used toadd fibre to ce- real, pancakes or casseroles. • have a whole grain cereal for breakfast every day • choose whole grain breads and muffins • • . incorporate whole wheat flour in your baking • • have an apple or an orange in- stead of juice • leave the skin on potatoes. Simply scrub them well- before cooking • mix bran into chili, thick soups, cooked vegetables, sloppy jocs, sandwich spreads, ground meat mixtures, and coating prepar- ations for chicken and fish A INVESTMENTS FINANCIAL CENTRE 122 The Square Goderich 1-800-265-5503 FEATURE OF THE WEEK R.S.P. 1 03/4% 5 yrs.
