Fibre helps in which health function?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Keeping bowel movements regular
Dietary fibre is the largely indigestible part of plant foods. It absorbs or holds water, adds bulk to stool, and supports movement through the intestine, thereby helping regular bowel movements and reducing constipation risk. Iron is central to haemoglobin formation, calcium and vitamin D support bones, and water regulates temperature. Thus, A is correct.
