A diet rich in fiber is essential for maintaining healthy digestion. Dietary fiber, found in various foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, plays a crucial role in supporting digestive processes. It provides bulk to the stool, which is essential in preventing constipation and promoting regular bowel movements. Moreover, fiber helps in the efficient movement of food through the digestive tract, reducing the risk of digestive problems such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Softening and bulking up stool aids in the smooth passage of waste material, making it a cornerstone of a well-rounded diet for optimal digestion.
