Fiber is helpful to the body in many ways:

• Relieving constipation and hemorrhoids
• Preventing certain diseases
• Keeping weight under control

Avoiding and Relieving Constipation

Fiber can absorb large amounts of water in the bowels, and this makes stools softer and easier to pass. Anyone starting a higher-fiber diet will notice the difference in stool bulk.

In almost all cases, increasing fiber in the diet will relieve constipation within hours or days.
Because stools are easier to pass, less straining is necessary, and this can help relieve hemorrhoids.
