What is a "dietary roughage" and how is it good for you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fiber: Foodstuff that isn't digested. It remains in the intestines acting osmotically to hold water in the stool. So the stool remains softer and easier to expel. It also provides an environment for beneficial intestinal bacteria.
