9. Fiber

We already know fiber is great for digestion, but that’s not all. Insoluble fiber is great in preventing constipation and intestinal blockages, which will reduce your risk of issues like hemorrhoids or colorectal cancer. Soluble fibers, on the other hand, bind to the body’s LDL “bad” cholesterol, and help in its elimination process, thereby bringing down the risk of blood clots and heart disease.
