High in fibre
- Consuming fruits and foods containing high levels of fibre, increases your mouth's production of saliva (creating antibacterial barrier around your mouth).
- High fibre fruits also encourage blood flow around your mouth, to your teeth and gums.
Our teams favourite high fibre foods:
Emma: Oats - topped with fruit and honey, a good (and tasty) way to get fibre first thing in the morning!
Jess: Surprisingly popcorn is a great source of fibre, and an essential for movie nights.
Luke: Any fruit is good for additional fibre, and tastes good.
Lex: An apple a day keeps the dental conditions away!
Mat: Emma’s overnight oats are the best! With berries and honey.
Abbey: I love to load my dinners with beans, legumes and wholegrains to get additional fibre!
