HELPING WITH DIGESTION

Fiber is a dietary material containing substances that are resistant to the action of digestive enzymes. Fiber adds bulk and texture to foods.  As it passes through the body, fiber can help your system stay regular, which is why many doctors recommend fiber to help manage occasional constipation.
