We gain no nutrients or energy from fibre, it holds no calories as it is not digested, but passes through our digestive systems. Fibre or âroughageâ does, however, provide an important function in the body; it is essential to a well-tuned digestive system and can help the body remove potentially harmful waste.Nutritionists usually recommend that people increase their intake of high fibre foods.ibre or âroughageâ does, however, provide an important function in the body; it is essential to a well-tuned digestive system and can help the body remove potentially harmful waste.

Fibre (fiber in the U.S.) comes exclusively from plants; there is no fibre in meat, fish or animal products (including dairy). Fibre is a complex carbohydrate (type of sugar) but unlike other carbohydrates, which are broken down by the body to provide fuel in the form of glucose, fibre cannot be digested by the human body.
