Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Fiber helps to regulate bowel movements so they are not too loose or too hard and may decrease the risk of diverticulosis and diverticulitis. Most high-fiber foods tend to be low in calories, sugar, and fat, so they are generally healthy.
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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Whole-grain products. Fruits. Vegetables. Beans, peas and other legumes. Nuts and seeds.
