Fiber is important for increasing the motility of GIT. It adds bulk in the diet & helps passage of stools from the body easier, thus helps in avoiding constipation. One important function of fiber is that it binds with the cholesterol produced in the body and present in the food we eat. As fiber itself is not digested in the body it hampers the absorption of cholesterol bound to it and removes it through the stools. Good sources of fiber are whole cereals, bran, pulses with husk, vegetables & fruits with skin and dried fruits.
