Want to increase fibre intake? AIIMS-trained gastroenterologist Dr Saurabh Sethi shares recipe for high-fibre date loaf

Dr Saurabh Sethi, a California-based gastroenterologist trained at AIIMS, Harvard, and Stanford Universities, shared a recipe for a high-fibre date loaf.

The date loaf is made with Medjool dates, all-purpose flour, eggs, walnuts, chocolate chips, and ground flaxseeds, with no added sugar.

The recipe yields a sweet bread loaded with dietary fibre, aimed at helping meet daily fibre needs (38g for men, 25g for women).

Preparation involves blending deseeded dates with warm milk, mixing with dry ingredients and eggs, then baking at 350°F for 30-35 minutes.

Dr Sethi advises drinking enough water when increasing fibre intake to prevent digestive discomfort.
