June is bowel cancer awareness month. One of the ways we know to keep our bowel in tip top shape is to eat plenty of fibre from a variety of plant foods. Fibre helps to create normal, healthy bowel motions and is the fuel for the cells in the colon as well as being the food for the beneficial bacteria in the gut. Couple that with a high dose of probiotic bacteria and you’ve got a tummy-lovin combo. Putting it in a smoothie form can also make it a little easier to digest and access those precious nutrients.
