Mangieri noted cauliflower's high fiber content, which is about 11 percent of recommended daily amount. This can help promote smooth digestion, healthy stool bulk and regularity. Bulkier, softer stools are easier to pass than hard or watery ones, which not only makes life more comfortable but also helps maintain colorectal health. According to the Mayo Clinic, a high-fiber diet may help reduce the risk of hemorrhoids and diverticulitis (small, painful pouches on the colon).
Furthermore, a 2009 study by Johns Hopkins researchers published in Cancer Prevention Research found that sulforaphane, which is derived from glucosinolates in cauliflower, helps keep the stomach bacteria Helicobacter pylori from becoming overgrown or clinging too strongly to the stomach wall. This can help keep your stomach lining healthy.
