Today, health practitioners agree on the health benefits of fiber. Fiber normalizes bowel function in its effect on transit time and nutrient absorption. Insoluble fibers exert a laxative effect, accelerate intestinal transit, increase fecal bulk, and reduce gastrointestinal pressure. Dietary fiber plays both a therapeutic and a preventive role in the management of gastrointestinal diseases and is used extensively in clinical practice to treat constipation. Its effects may also be beneficial in the treatment of diverticular diseases and related disorders including hemorrhoids.
Epidemiologic evidence supports the role of dietary fiber in reducing the risk of colon cancer.

It is known to be beneficial in the management of certain diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity, via its effect on nutrient metabolism.
