Dietary Fiber

Dietary fiber is a nutritional concept defined as the complex carbohydrates and lignin derived from plant cell walls that are resistant to enzymatic digestion in the human upper gastrointestinal tract. This concept is central to research investigating its diverse physiological effects on gut function, nutrient absorption, metabolic health, and the gut microbiome, highlighting its significance for disease prevention and overall well-being.
