1. Fibre is to keep the digestive system healthy and functioning properly. It speeds up the excretion of waste and toxins from the body preventing them from sitting in the intestine or bowel for too long which could cause a build-up and lead to several diseases. Without Fibre the following will happen:

· Constipation: Lack of Fibre may lead to Constipation. If you're having fewer than three bowel movements a week, and the stools are hard and dry, you're constipated. Also, It may not be Fibre which is causing this, it could be; too little exercise, certain medications and supplements but most likely Fibre.

· Heart disease: Dietary fibre deficiency can also increase your risk of contracting heart disease and related conditions, according to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health. Metabolic syndrome is a series of factors that can help indicate a person's risk of heart disease, such as high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, high LDL cholesterol and weight gain.

· Diverticulitis: Diverticulitis is a potentially serious digestive disorder. It is characterized by one or more swollen and irritated sacs that grow in the interior of the digestive tract (most frequently the large intestine). If a serious rupture occurs in these sacs, waste material inside the colon can leak into the interior of the abdomen, which can cause an infection. Although serious cases of diverticulitis require treatment with antibiotics, you can significantly reduce your risk of contracting it by including plenty of high-fibre foods in your diet. require treatment with antibiotics, you can significantly reduce your risk of contracting it by including plenty of high-fibre foods in your diet.
