Dear Harsh, Thank you for the question

Dietary fiber also known as roughage is a type of carbohydrate, It’s a component of the plant which is resistant to digestion by the enzymes in the human system thereby making it indigestible. It is edible and considered to be an essential nutrient in your daily diet.

Dietary Fiber is one of the most important nutrients that is known for its disease preventive and curative properties. There are many kinds of fibers like soluble (as in oats, apple), insoluble (whole grain) , prebiotic (onion, green banana, chicory) which occur naturally in various foods we eat in our daily diet and all of them are beneficial for us in their own unique way. Diets with a high content of fibre tend to have a positive effect on health like-

Lowers variance in blood sugar level
Regulates blood pressure
Lowers total and LDL cholesterol thereby reducing the risk of heart diseases.
Adds bulk to stool and increases the frequency of bowel movements (improved laxation)
Increased mineral absorption in the intestinal tract.
Reduced calorie intake due to the feeling of satiety (as fiber promotes a feeling of fullness).
