Gut Health

Fiber supports beneficial gut bacteria; without it, gut health can deteriorate, leading to dysbiosis.

Hemorrhoids

Straining during bowel movements, often due to constipation, can lead to hemorrhoids.

Blood Sugar Level

Fiber slows sugar absorption, and its absence can lead to rapid blood sugar spikes, raising the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Heart Disease

Lack of fiber contributes to elevated cholesterol and triglycerides, increasing heart disease risk and other cardiovascular disease.

Weight Gain

Low-fiber diets may leave feeling less full, leading to overeating and potential weight gain.

Bloating

Digestive discomfort can occur due to slower transit time in the intestines.

Constipation

Fiber adds bulk to stool, promoting regular bowel movements. Without it, constipation is common.
