Higher dietary fibre intake lowers risks of CVD, stroke mortality

06 Feb 2020 by

Individuals who consume a high amount of dietary fibre (DF) tend to live longer, suggests a Japan study, which reveals the association of higher DF intake with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in men and a reduced risk of stroke mortality in women.
