How does a high-fibre diet help satiety?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It helps a person feel full
Fibre-rich foods add bulk, often require more chewing, and may slow digestion and gastric emptying. These effects can prolong fullness and help reduce unnecessary snacking or overeating, supporting weight management. Fibre does not completely block nutrient absorption and should be obtained from varied foods with adequate fluids, because very sudden increases may cause digestive discomfort.
