One of the significant flaws of the modern diet is that it lacks fiber. Whole plant foods have lead to heavily processed products that lose most of their fiber content. There is a lot of evidence which supports that low-fiber diet can adversely affect the gut microbiota. This ultimately leads to the development of several chronic lifestyle diseases. Dietary fiber plays an important role for the good bacteria living in your gut and helps you to preserve a healthy gut microbiota. Hence, there should be a regular intake of fiber in your diet.
