Eating a diet rich in fibre has many health benefits. It can help to reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and some cancers, including bowel cancer. Fibre is also important for digestive health. Choosing foods that contain fibre also helps you to feel fuller for longer and can therefore help with weight management.

In this Project Food newsletter March 2023 we are covering how to increase the fibre in your diet by breaking down the three main meals of the day. And our recipe this month is a high-fibre chilli to start you off!
