Question

A full liquid diet is lacking only in1.)vitamins2.)minerals3.)protein4.)fiber​

Answer 1

Answer:

• The correct option is option 4.) Fibres.

Explanation:

• Fibres are generally found in plant based food and they can be defined as the structural components of the plant cells which are not digested by our digestive system.

• Since most of them are not digested they are passed to be excreted out and hence forms the bulk of feacel matter.

• They are helpful in keeping the digestive system healthy and free of problems like constipation.

• Since in liquid diet all the indigestible food parts are extracted out because one needs to have only liquid in their diets, these fibres are taken out, therefore the person on liquid diet may consume less fiber and may be susceptible to problems like constipation.
