उत्तर
Increasing the amount of fibre in our diet is important for several reasons:
- Improves Digestive Health: Fibre promotes regular bowel motions and prevents constipation. It builds up the stool, simplifying passing and lowering the risk of digestive issues like diverticulitis and hemorrhoids.
- Supports Heart Health: A high-fibre diet, particularly one rich in soluble fibre, can help lower cholesterol levels, lowering the risk of heart disease. Fibre may help with blood sugar control, which is good for cardiovascular health.
These benefits make fibre an essential component of a healthy diet.
