Diverticular disease
Major health benefits of a high fiber diet include a reduced risk for heart disease, improvement in blood sugar control, prevention and relief of constipation, and reduced risks of developing precancerous polyps in the intestines. High fiber diets may also be a key strategy for weight management because fiber delays stomach emptying, which, in turn, promotes a feeling of satiety, or fullness, and diminishes the appetite.
