Cellulose is a component of plant foods that is indigestible by the human body. It might not seem intuitive that something your body can't digest can benefit your health, but it can. Cellulose is a type of fiber called insoluble fiber, and its benefits include helping food move through your digestive system more quickly, thus preventing constipation, and reducing the risk of developing a condition called diverticular disease.
