Question

What trouble do we have to face if we do not get enough fibre from our daily diet?

Answer 1

Diets that do not have sufficient fiber or have excessive fat could increase the possibility for diverticular disease, constipation, and hemorrhoids. What are the other consequences of low fiber intake?

There is the greater possibility of Cardiovascular Disease.

Lofty levels of overall & LDL cholesterol in one’s blood considerably increase the possibility of arterial diseases, examples being stroke and coronary heart disease.

Lifestyle practices that include the consumption of low-fiber diets contribute to such a higher cholesterol panel.

A diet that is consistently lacking in high-fiber foods increases the possibility of weight gain. 

Answer 2

Diets low in fiber or high in fat increase the risk for constipation, diverticular disease and hemorrhoids. There are two types of fiber, insoluble and soluble, which are both beneficial and pass through the body without being digested. Insoluble fiber plays an integral role in keeping the intestines and colon functioning properly. It regulates bowel movements and may potentially reduce the risk of colon cancer as well. Along with plenty of water, insoluble fiber adds bulk to the stool, helping reduce constipation. Good sources of insoluble fiber are whole-wheat flour and wheat bran, most vegetables and nuts.
