Vegetable, fruit and fibre intake was associated with a slightly reduced risk.

Choose granary bread to up your fibre intake — the ratio between protein and carbs will also help to regulate your blood glucose levels.

I'd suggest you try to increase her fluid and fibre intake.

Try to avoid straining - so increase your fluid and fibre intake.

Serve your burger in a wholemeal bun to up fibre intake.

He took a prebiotic (not pro-) fibre supplement, which kept him a-slumber until five rather than three.

And don't waste money on fibre supplements.

Fibre supplements are widely available, and can be found in forms such as powders, tablets, and capsules.

However, research has produced mixed results with respect to whether fibre supplements are as effective as dietary fibre in reducing blood cholesterol.

Consumption of fibre supplements may be for: improving dietary intake, lowering blood cholesterol, alleviating irritable bowel syndrome, reducing the risk of colon cancer, and increasing feelings of satiety.

The vast menu includes treatments for volume, resurfacing the hair fibre (for shine) and the usual broadly nourishing treatments for normal/fine/ colour-treated hair types.

Enriched with vitamins, minerals and argan oil, it forms an invisable film on the surface of the hair fibre.

It works by pushing strand-plumping ingredients inside the hair fibre to thicken it from within.

When hair fibres slide past each other, the projections catch, creating extra friction.

It thickens hair and encourages growth, thanks to filloxane - an ingredient that expands hair fibres from within.

The first type, often called insoluble fibre or 'roughage', moves through your intestines largely unchanged but gives bulk to the contents of your gut.

Insoluble fibre, regarded as a beneficial substance which helps to rid the gut of toxins, almost doubled.

Insoluble fibre, found in foods such as wholegrains, bran and tomatoes, has a laxative effect.

Insoluble fibre, such as bran, will tend to make it worse.

The modified beans will also have higher levels of insoluble fibre, which has been linked to reduced cholesterol and hence could improve the health of your heart.

The insulation itself can be made of several different materials, including mineral fibre, fibreglass matting or mineral wool.

For improved green credentials, use sheep's wool or recycled newspaper for insulation, not mineral fibre.

Addition of a small quantity of cellulose or mineral fibre prevents drainage of bitumen during transport and placement.

A further method exists for the determination of asbestos, fibreglass, synthetic mineral fibre and ceramic mineral fibre dust in air.

Rather than conforming to the crisp line of the stairs, a thick loop-pile carpet (often plant fibre or wool) can bag out around the tread.

All termites eat cellulose in its various forms as plant fibre.

The garments were made by twisting together ropes of wila, and weaving them together with plant fibre to form vests, ponchos, shoes, and leggings.

To boost this machine's eco-credentials, the team constructed its body using biodegradable plant fibres.

Made with 100 per cent naturally derived plant fibres, they are biodegradable and cruelty-free.

The latter had been remade in plastic fibre in a previous restoration; she restored them in stone.

Even beaches that seem clean have up to 5,000 plastic fibres per litre of sand.

Fitting filters to washing machines will stop trillions of tiny plastic fibres from synthetic clothing reaching the ocean, according to trials.

Despite being marketed as flushable, many wet wipes that are disposed of in lavatories contain plastic fibres and do not break down in water.

A previous study found that more than 700,000 microscopic plastic fibres can be flushed into drains from a single load of synthetic fabrics.

This soft polyester fibre pillow contains two speakers that are wired to a sound system with six soothing soundtracks, pre-programmed in.

Covers are made using recycled materials, eco-friendly calico and organic cotton thread, and are filled with a polyester fibre blend.

The second category of geogrids are more flexible, textile-like geogrids using bundles of polyethylene-coated polyester fibres as the reinforcing component.

He used polyester fibres, which only absorb a minimum of moisture and worked them in a special weaving construction.

The fabrics employ specially-engineered polyester fibres to improve breathability compared to natural fibres like cotton.

Airplane manufacturing (1934), synthetic fibre production (1935), and river transport (1938).

Synthetic fibre blends are wetlaid along with cellulose for single-use fabrics.

In long staple spinning, the process may start with stretch-break of tow, a continuous rope of synthetic fibre.

Synthetic fibre ropes are significantly stronger than their natural fibre counterparts, but also possess certain disadvantages, including slipperiness.

A synthetic fibre, when magnified, looks like plastic spun together.

Cotton being a vegetable fibre will be bleached using an oxidizing agent, such as dilute sodium hypochlorite or dilute hydrogen peroxide.

Natural vegetable fibres include cotton, linen, jute and hemp.

These vegetable fibres can come from the seed (cotton), the stem (known as bast fibres: flax, hemp, jute) or the leaf (sisal).

The majority of everyday objects would have been made from organic materials such as wood, bamboo, rattan and vegetable fibres which do not survive long in a tropical environment.

Retting was carried out here in ponds next to the river, this process being a stage in the manufacturing of vegetable fibres, especially the bast fibres.

Uneven boards need wood fibre underlay, which moulds to curves and flattens a surface (about 20 for 10 sq m).

Sustainable wood fibre and compost from green waste could increase in popularity.

Peat-free composts are made from wood fibre, coir and composted bark.

Using recycled paper also requires less energy from wood fibre to printed page.

The majority of rooms within the headquarters were designed with secondary curved wood fibre board lining, although in places this had fallen away.

In six months, she lined the walls with wool fibre, installed a wood-burning stove, state-of-the-art double-glazing, a rainwater-harvesting system and solar panels.

This has 100 per cent natural wool fibre pellets and prevents slugs from reaching your plants.

Mordants often leave residue in wool fibre that makes it difficult to spin, so wool was generally dyed after spinning, as yarn or woven cloth.

Some wool fibres can be quite rough, but will soften with wear.

Wool fibres are breathable, meaning they can absorb and release moisture without reducing thermal performance, unlike fibreglass-based products.
