The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has emphasized the critical role of dietary fibre in promoting digestive health, reducing chronic disease risk, and supporting metabolic well-being. Recent findings underscore that insufficient fibre intake correlates with higher prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions. Health analysts note that integrating fibre-rich foods—such as whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables—can significantly reduce long-term healthcare costs, potentially saving several Rs. crores in treatment expenditures.

An AIIMS-trained hepatology expert has outlined eight critical yet often overlooked symptoms that may signal the onset or progression of fatty liver disease, a condition increasingly affecting people across age groups due to lifestyle imbalances, poor diet, and rising metabolic disorders. The specialist emphasizes that early detection plays a decisive role in preventing complications such as cirrhosis, liver failure, and cardiovascular risks.
