Excessive fibre



Have you ever thought what would happened when one is eating too much fibre.

Well....hmmmm...

Consuming excessive fibre means the food will pass through the digestive tract faster, as such resulting in your body not able to absorb all the nutrients it needs. Over time, this would lead to anaemia and even bone loss when condition get serious.

However worry not, as most the time the consequences face are less frightening and serious. You will experience uncomfortness in the stomach bloated with gas or diarrhoea.

To prevent all of the above, it is recommended to spread your fibre intake over all your meals. Try to get it from natural sources like fruit instead of junk food or supplements. Natural is always better than artifical. Sufficient intake of fibres, vitamins are beneificial to the body and Too much will be a harm. Hence take care and don't just take fruits or veggies for a meal.
