Answer:

Roughage, also known as dietary fiber, plays an essential role in your overall health, even though it's mostly indigestible. According to the Institute of Medicine, men need 30 to 38 grams of fiber per day and women need 21 to 25 grams of fiber per day. You can meet your daily fiber needs by eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.
