    Eating more foods rich in dietary fiber can promote digestion. Dietary fiber itself is not digested and absorbed by the body. Because it contains many hydrophilic groups, it has strong water holding capacity, keeps feces to maintain a certain amount of water and volume, and can stimulate intestinal mucosa, increase intestinal peristalsis, and improve constipation.
