Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Insoluble fiber appears to speed the passage of foods through the stomach and intestines and adds bulk to the stool. It is found in foods such as wheat bran, vegetables and whole grains.
Detailed explanation-2: -Since we do not digest it, the fiber in food passes into the intestine and absorbs water. The undigested fiber creates “bulk” so the muscles in the intestine can push waste out of the body. Eating enough fiber helps prevent constipation. It may also reduce the risk of getting colon cancer.
