उत्तर
Paheli must include whole grains, whole pulses, fresh fruits and vegetables in her diet to get rid of her problem. These food items contain roughage (dietary fibre) which is lacking in Paheli’s diet. Biscuits, noodles and white bread are made up of refined flour (maida) which does not contain any roughage. Roughage prevents constipation, since it allows the waste matter to move more easily down the lower intestine helping us to get rid of undigested waste.
