High-fiber foods help move waste through your digestive system. But, according to Harvard School of Public Health researchers, most people don’t get enough fiber in their diets—less than 15 grams per day on average fiber is one of the best ways to prevent and relieve constipation and other digestive disorders.
Eating high-fiber foods is a natural and easy colon-cleansing method. In addition, some people take granulated wheat fiber supplements to clean out their colons before having a colonoscopy.
NUTRIENTS, a journal dedicated to studying nutrients and their role in health, notes that fiber is also suitable for gut bacteria. Eating more dietary fiber—from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—increases levels of “good” fecal microbes while reducing the number of pathogens like E Coli and, thus, fewer digestive disorders.
While some studies have shown that increasing fiber intake can decrease the risk of colorectal cancer, at a minimum, most doctors agree that getting enough dietary fiber helps treat constipation, prevent hemorrhoids, and help manage symptoms associated with (IBS) irritable bowel syndrome.
