Term Definition
fibre, dietary
(roughage or bulk). Includes cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, pectin and gums, each of which has a different action in the body. Fibre creates bulky faeces, relieves constipation and can help reduce the incidence of diverticulitis, bowel cancer and haemorrhoids. Some types of fibre delay food absorption and lower cholesterol.
