High-Fibre Diet Valuable to Heart Health
A fibre-rich diet is essential for the maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular system. National health agencies have long recommended increasing daily intake of dietary fibre, and the latest large population trial conducted by the National Institute of Health, confirms the role of fibre in preventing heart problems.
This US study recently published in the Archives of Internal Medicine discovered that the individuals with the highest fibre intake were the ones with the lowest incidence of heart problems. Water-soluble dietary fibre seemed to show the most significant benefit.
