The importance of fibre According to Harvard researchers, the more fibre you eat, the more likely you will survive a heart attack. For each 10g of daily fibre you ingest, you decrease your chances of dying from a heart attack by 15 per cent! We should, as a nation, be eating a recommended 38g of fibre per day, but more of us fall short of that by at least 50 per cent. Perhaps this news will encourage more people to include more vegetables, nuts, apples, whole grains and pulses in their diets! In my opinion, it is preferable for the fibre to be naturally contained within the food and not added as bran.
