The same reasons as everyone else. Fibre gives bulk to the food in the alimentary canal, making it easier for peristalsis to keep it moving, and avoiding problems such as constipation. Long-term, a high fibre diet protects against bowel cancer and reduces the risk of Heart disease and Diabetes. High fibre diets are also less likely to promote obesity.
