| Subject: A low-fibre diet could lead to high blood pressure: study Tue Feb 25, 2020 7:05 pm | |
| A diet low in fibre could lead to high blood pressure, which affects about one in three Australian adults and is one of the most significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
A Monash University-led study published in the journal Circulation, found that mice given a diet either high or low in fibre exhibited different blood pressure patterns, possibly due to fibre's effect on gut bacteria.
Those fed the low-fibre diet developed high blood pressure while the others did not. The researchers then looked at the animals’ gut microbiota – the types of bacteria in their gut – and found the microbiome of the mice on a low-fibre diet became “completely different”.
