FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -High-fibre foods such as wholegrain cereal products increase movement of food through the digestive tract. The result is increased stool (faeces) bulk, softer and larger stools, and more frequent bowel actions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Whole grains are rich in dietary fibre and usually have a lower energy density.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fiber helps lower cholesterol as well as move waste through the digestive tract. Fiber may also help prevent the formation of small blood clots that can trigger heart attacks or strokes. Phytochemicals and essential minerals such as magnesium, selenium and copper found in whole grains may protect against some cancers.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dietary fiber increases the weight and size of your stool and softens it. A bulky stool is easier to pass, decreasing your chance of constipation. If you have loose, watery stools, fiber may help to solidify the stool because it absorbs water and adds bulk to stool. Helps maintain bowel health.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fibre may delay hunger and increase satiety by slowing the rate of gastric emptying(18). Soluble fibres such as pectins and gums are hydrophilic, and form viscous compounds which distend the stomach and slow gastric emptying(19).
