Experts highlight the importance of dietary fibre, recommending 25 to 30 grams daily for digestive health, appetite control, and blood sugar regulation. Psyllium husk, a soluble fibre supplement, is advised at about 20 grams daily to help lower LDL cholesterol. Summer fruits and vegetables, rich in fibre and hydration, support digestion and overall health. Increasing fibre intake through natural sources is encouraged amid trends favoring low-fibre diets.
