Answer:

Fiber helps to prevent constipation in the human digestive system.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to nutritionists fiber is very important in digestion as it increases the amount of stool , hence prompting for deification which generally reduces the amount of time waste stays in the small intestines .

Another reason is that it gets in touch with the schist that has been rejected or is of no value to the system and binds it to make it compact waste hence it is easier to move along the small intestine and the colon .

Finally it facilitates movement and exercise of the bowel , by prompting regular movement .
