Answer 1

Rough age helps us to get rid of undigested food

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Roughage cannot be digested by our body and is thrown out in the form of waste. However, it is still important for our diet. Cellulose, also called fibre or roughage, swells up in the intestine by absorbing water. It adds bulk to faeces and makes it soft. This ensures smooth movement of wastes through the rectum and helps in digestion. Those who don't eat enough vegetables suffer from constipation for this.
