Ans - Conditions of diabetes, weight gain, heart and a few cancers can be prevented by consuming dietary fibres. The fibres also help in processes such as stabilizing glucose and also the cholesterol levels. Traditional diets of high-fibre can help prevent diseases such as bowel cancer, coronary heart conditions, and diabetes. Fibres help to fulfil the belly, acting like a sponge. Their slower digestion and absorption makes one feel full. They also provide bulk aiding in the elimination that helps lower blood cholesterol.
