               What is fibre? 
                 Fibre is the part of food that is hard for your body to break down and digest. It is found 
                 grain products, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans and legumes. Fibre soaks up liquid 
                 in your body. When fibre goes through your bowel, it keeps the waste foods from 
                 getting dried out. Your bowel movements are softer and easier when you eat a lot 
                 of fibre. Fibre helps prevent constipation. 
                
                                   Cereal fibre is the best type of fibre to keep  
                                             your child’s bowels healthy. 
                          Cereal fibre is found in cereals and whole grain products. 
                
               How can I give my child more fibre? 
                 To give your child more fibre, choose foods from the lists on the next page.  
                 Fibre is naturally found in plants such as grains, vegetables and fruits. It is also an 
                 ingredient in other foods. Read food labels to see how much fibre is in one serving. 
                 Aim to eat products that are a high source of fibre more often! 
                
                                 A food with 4 to 6 grams of fibre in one serving  
                                             is a “High Source” of fibre. 
                
               How much fibre does my child need? 
                 Check the chart to see how many grams (g) of fibre your son or daughter needs at  
                 his or her age.
