hey mate.......

Roughage is a course food high in fiber but low in nutrients ; it's bulk stimulates peristalsis . indigestible materials that are part of a healthy diet to promote the action within the intestines to prevent constipation.

Roughage is important in our food because it also helps to keep you feeling full while eating fewer calories because it provides a lot of volume and it swells inside your stomach and digestive tract.
