The daily fibre intake recommendations for average humans based on their age and sex, according to the Mayo Clinic website, are listed as follows: 21 grams for women older than age 50 25 grams for women age 50 or younger 30 grams for men older than age 50 38 grams for men age 50 or youngerWhat is the function of dietary fibre?
Dietary fibre is a type of plant-based carbohydrate that cannot be digested or absorbed by the human body, as per the Mayo Clinic website. They can be broadly divided into two types: soluble and insoluble dietary fibre. Soluble fibre: As the name suggests, soluble fibre dissolves in water and forms a gel-like substance in the stomach. It slows down digestion and helps lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Foods rich in soluble fibre include oats, peas, beans, apples, bananas, citrus fruits, and psyllium, among others. Insoluble fibre: It does not dissolve in water and instead helps material to move through the oesophagus by adding bulk to it. Foods rich in insoluble fibre include whole-wheat flour, wheat bran, nuts, beans, and vegetables like cauliflower, green beans and potatoes.
