HUMAN NUTRITION

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: -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-3: -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).
