Nutritionist suggests easy ways to add fibre to your daily diet

Eating more fibre on a daily basis can make one healthier in long run. Nutritionist and Chef Ishti Saluja says eating more fibre can improve the health of our gut microbiome which could make one healthier overall. Listing many benefits of eating fibre, Saluja says it can soften and add bulk to stool by retaining water, supporting the gut transit time and reducing the risk of constipation. The nutritionist adds that fibre also slows the absorption of sugars found in carbohydrates, which help maintain stable energy levels throughout the day, helping one fight fatigue "It promotes an environment favourable to beneficial gut bacteria that helps you digest certain foods like dairy or gluten – two of the most common ones people are sensitive to. Ishti Saluja says the best way to increase your daily fibre intake is to simply integrate high fibre foods into your existing diet.
