Fibre is something that every dietician suggests for better health. It’s known to be vitally important for a healthy digestive system and also has cardiovascular benefits like reduced cholesterol. Recently, evidence has emerged that fibre is also important for a healthy brain.
Dietary fibre may reduce other risk factors for dementia, such as body weight, blood pressure, lipids, and glucose levels. They found that the groups who ate higher levels of fiber had a lower risk of developing dementia.
Soluble fibres, found in foods such as oats and legumes, are important for the beneficial bacteria that live in the gut as well as providing other health benefits. Insoluble fibres, found in whole grains, vegetables, and some other foods, are known to be important for bowel health.
