New Delhi: The human body is really a marvel that has made provisions and systems to work everything out. One such system, the digestive system, is responsible for the breakdown of the food we eat into smaller and smaller components until they can be absorbed by the body and the nutrients and energy can be used for the functioning of other systems. The digestive system includes the gastrointestinal tract, and other organs like the tongue, glands, pancreas, liver, etc which are responsible for the secretion of enzymes for the breakdown of food.

How healthy are body is overall, plays an important role in how healthy our digestion is. However, the food we eat can also affect how efficiently it gets digested. For instance, dietary fibre, a type of carbohydrate, cannot be digested by the body's enzymes but plays a very important role in digestion -as a catalyst. It is recommended to include fibre-rich foods in your diet to facilitate digestion. Fibre is also known to fill you up really well, which helps in curbing appetite and avoiding overeating.

Most edible parts of plant food like cereals, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, lentils, etc are rich in fibre and should be a part of everyone's balanced diet.
