Kelloggs All Bran

The Facts

Everyday digestive health is all about getting the nutrients your body needs and getting rid of waste efficiently so that you don't feel sluggish, tired or uncomfortable. You need to get on with life!

Fibre is found in foods that come from plants, such as high fibre cereals like Kellogg's^® All-Bran^® cereal. Other foods high in fibre include barley, beans, fruits with their skins on and vegetables.

Wheat bran fibre is particularly important to keep you regular!

One way to get more fibre is through eating wholegrains but it is important to remember that not all wholegrain cereals are high in fibre.

Eat minimally processed grains rather than refined grains as often as possible. Wholegrain versions of rice, bread, cereal, flour and pasta can be found at any grocery store. Many wholegrain foods come ready to eat. These include a variety of breads, pastas as well as our Kellogg's^®
All-Bran Flakes^®!

Examples of wholegrains include:

Barley
Brown rice
Buckwheat
Bulgur (cracked wheat)
Millet
Oatmeal
Popcorn
Whole-wheat bread, pasta or crackers
Wild rice

When in doubt, check the food label! Try to choose items with at least 3 grams of dietary fibre per serving as this helps your digestive process.

The Process of Digestion

Your digestive system works hard to ensure that you feel your best. It's hard at work 24/7!

Stomach
The stomach is where the food we eat is broken down into smaller pieces so we can absorb all the healthy nutrients! Food usually stays in the stomach for 1 to 3 hours.

Small Intestine
Then the small intestine breaks down the smaller bits into individual nutrients which are then absorbed into the body.

Large Intestine
In the final stage of digestion, friendly bacteria break down the undigested foods. Through this process the bacteria provide more nutrients and other important components that support health. Fibre travels through your gastrointestinal tract intact and ends up in the large intestine, where it provides nutrition for the intestinal bacteria that ferment it.

To support the everyday health of your digestive system, ensure that you get your daily fibre intake. Start your day with a bowl of Kellogg's^® All-Bran^® to wake up your system and help it perform at its best. Now you can focus on life!
