Fiber helps waste move through your intestines easily.
It helps you to defecate better. It also helps to lower the risk of colon cancer.
Fibre is essential for healthy bowel function. When fibre passes through the bowel it absorbs a lot of water, so it increases the bulk of the waste matter. This also makes the waste softer and increases the speed and ease with which it passes through the bowel.
