Fibre intake is a prominent protective factor against coronary heart disease. Wright et al and Anderson suggested blood pressure lowering effect of increased dietary fibre A diet that contained increased amounts of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and pectin provided approximately 13 grams or more of crude fibre daily. Dietary fibre may be useful in the management of hypertension and obesity through its effects on energy density of food, and the extent of interference with nutrient bio availability.

Abstract


Fibre intake is a prominent protective factor against coronary heart disease. Wright et al and Anderson suggested blood pressure lowering effect of increased dietary fibre A diet that contained increased amounts of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and pectin provided approximately 13 grams or more of crude fibre daily. Dietary fibre may be useful in the management of hypertension and obesity through its effects on energy density of food, and the extent of interference with nutrient bio availability.
