Experts Highlight Dietary Fibre's Role in Gut Health and Metabolic Support

Dietary fibre, found in plant-based foods, is increasingly recognized as essential for gut health and overall wellness. Gastroenterologist Dr. Saurabh Sethi highlights that fibre feeds beneficial gut bacteria, producing fatty acids that support the gut lining, immune balance, and metabolism. It also aids blood sugar regulation, improves digestion, and promotes heart and liver health. Despite its benefits, fibre remains underappreciated compared to protein, with experts calling for its reclassification as an essential nutrient.
