In today's hectic world, we frequently forget one important component that keeps our bodies in balance: dietary fibre. Fibre is a game-changer when it comes to improving digestion, weight management, and heart health. Palm Tree provides nature's richest sources of fibre in the form of premium-quality dried fruits, nuts, and seeds.
What is Dietary Fibre?
Dietary fibre is a plant-based carbohydrate that our body can’t digest. Instead of breaking down like other nutrients, it passes through the digestive system, doing a lot of good along the way.
There are two main types:
-
Soluble Fibre: Helps lower cholesterol and controls blood sugar.
-
Insoluble Fibre: Adds bulk to stool and supports regular bowel movements.
Both are essential for a healthy diet, and you’ll find plenty of both in the nuts and seeds available at Palm Tree.
