our bodies cannot digest fibre (cellulose). why is it still important in our diet​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is sometimes called roughage or bulk. Fiber is the part of plant foods that our bodies do not break down during digestion. ... Fiber is important for keeping the digestive tract working smoothly. Since we do not digest it, the fiber in food passes into the intestine and absorbs water.

Answer 2

Hey mate.....

Here's your answer....

Fiber is important for keeping the digestive tract working smoothly.

Since we do not digest it, the fiber in food passes into the intestine and absorbs water. The undigested fiber creates "bulk" so the muscles in the intestine can push waste out of the body. Eating enough fiber helps prevent constipation.

Hope this will be helpful to you mate.....
