thebalanced.newsExperts Highlight Dietary Fibre's Role in Gut Health and Chronic Disease Prevention
Dietary fibre, found in plant-based foods, plays a crucial role in digestion, weight management, and reducing risks of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Experts recommend consuming at least 25-30 grams daily from sources such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, psyllium husk, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and oats. Both soluble and insoluble fibres contribute to gut health by improving digestion, regulating bowel movements, and supporting overall wellness, according to nutritionists and health studies.
