7. Less Intestinal Pressure

People who do not eat enough fiber have a higher risk of developing painful problems with the digestive system, such as hemorrhoids or diverticular disease.

Fiber plus plenty of hydration helps reduce constipation, pressure, and inflammation in the intestines. Increased intestinal pressure can lead to the development or flare-up of pressure-sensitive digestive health problems.
