(4) It promotes the development of stools and aids in the removal of waste food from our bodies.
(5) Roughage facilitates the slow, smooth passage of food through the gastrointestinal system by enlarging the intestinal lumen. This action is necessary for the efficient and thorough digestion of food as well as the expulsion of intestinal waste.
