Fibre is important for the digestive system. It creates bulk so the muscles in the intestine can push waste out of the body. Eating enough fibre helps prevent constipation. Adults need approximately 30g of fibre daily. The main sources of fibre are vegetables. Besides being eaten fresh as a salad, vegetables can also be steamed or boiled. There is a simple and easy way and it tastes very good in serving vegetables: vegetable porridge. The ingredients used can adjust to the availability of our vegetables in the refrigerator, so it doesn't have to be the same as in this video. What is generally used for vegetable porridge is a mixture of root vegetables (sweet potato, etc.), fruit vegetables (pumpkin, etc.), leafy vegetables (spinach, water spinach, etc.), grain (rice etc) and legumes (bean). For more details, see the following video:
