High-fibre food for better heart health

Dr Zubin says people who choose to eat food high in dietary fibre can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

FIBRE, or roughage, are fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts that keep the digestive tract in good health, as it eases bowel movement and flushes out harmful substances along the way.

Ara Damansara Medical Centre consultant physician and cardiologist Dr Zubin Othman Ibrahim said people who choose to eat food high in dietary fibre can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
