Dietary fibre is a non-digestable part of plant material in the diet which is resistant to enzymatic digestion in humans which includes cellulose, non-cellulosic polysaccharides such as hemicellulose, pectic substances, gums, mucilages and a non-carbohydrate component lignin. The diet rich in fibre such as cereals, nuts, fruits and vegetables have a positive effect on health since their consumption has been related to decreased incidence of several diseases.

Abstract:

A fiber-rich diet plays a crucial role in maintaining digestive health and preventing constipation, which is a common gastrointestinal issue affecting a significant portion of the population. This review examines the various benefits of dietary fiber, emphasizing its role in promoting regular bowel movements, enhancing gut microbiota, and improving overall digestive function. Soluble and insoluble fibers, found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, contribute to stool bulk and consistency, facilitating easier passage through the intestines.

Abstract:

Resistant starch, also known as water-soluble dietary fiber, has the advantages of both water-soluble and insoluble fibers. The characteristic of resistant starch is that resistant starch is difficult to be absorbed by the small intestine, so it will not increase blood sugar and has the effect of controlling blood sugar. Like dietary fiber, it is decomposed after entering the large bowel and becomes food for beneficial bacteria in the intestine, which contributes to intestinal health. Its functions include: delaying gastric emptying, preventing a sharp rise in blood sugar, lowering blood chole

Furthermore, the human body is unable to produce it; instead, food produced from plants is the only source of it. There are specific species of gut microbiota that ferment dietary fiber, producing short-chain fatty acids, monosaccharides, and gases as byproducts.

Abstract:

Good nutrition in childhood is important, not only for health, growth and development of children but also for long-term health. Children need to eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods regularly, including fruits and vegetables. Lack of consumption of fruit and vegetables can increase the likelihood of constipation. A strategy is needed to support the development of children in the selection of variations of fruits and vegetables consumed, which can be done through nutrition counseling efforts in children especially children in kindergarten (kindergarten). In addition, modification of food based

Abstract:

Dietary fibers include non-digestible plant carbohydrates, lignin and resistant starch. Dietary fibers provide immune, cardiovascular, metabolic and intestinal beneficial effects in humans. Fibers naturally present in foods (fruits, vegetables, legumes, cereals) or used as supplements have different physical, chemical and functional profiles. This narrative review provides an update to the knowledge on the effects of dietary fibers in healthy subjects and in children with gastrointestinal disorders.

Abstract:

Abstract Dietary fibres are resistant to digestion and absorption. Prebiotics are fermentable dietary fibres that confer health benefits through their effects on microbiome composition and activity. The range of physiological benefits from consuming dietary fibres is broad. Encouraging children to eat fibre-rich foods promotes a nutrient-dense diet. Introducing a variety of dietary fibre sources to young children helps establish future dietary choices and a more diverse intestinal microbiota. Low-fibre intake is associated with a higher prevalence of constipation and obesity.

Abstract:

Chronic constipation (CC) is one of the most common gastroenterological diagnoses in clinical practice. Treatment includes several steps, depending on the severity of symptoms. Lifestyle modifications and increased intake of fiber and water are suggested by most health professionals. Unfortunately, the recommendations in this regard are the most varied, often conflicting with each other and not always based on solid scientific arguments. This paper aims to clarify this topic by providing practical indications for the management of these patients in every day clinical practice. The literature a

Abstract:

Dietary fibre is one of the most important ingredients in fruits & vegetables, it aids digestion and metabolism. It’s an indigestible material that reaches your small intestine and ferments in your colon, promoting a healthy microbiome. There are three types of fibre: soluble, insoluble and functional. Soluble fibre from foods such as oats, legumes and fruits creates a gel-like substance that slows the digestive process and can help manage blood sugar and cholesterol. Insoluble fibre, found in whole grains, nuts and vegetables, adds bulk to stool-making bowel movements more frequent and re

Millets are a group of small-seeded grains cultivated for centuries as staple food crops in many parts of the world. In the recent years, there has been a growing interest in millet due to its exceptional nutritional and health benefits. Millets are rich in essential nutrients such as proteins, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are also gluten-free and have a low glycemic index, making them suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance or diabetes. Studies have shown that regular millet consumption can contribute to several health benefits. The high fiber content in

Abstract Our understanding of dietary fiber in sow nutrition is evolving rapidly, shifting from a once-overlooked portion of the diet to a critical component influencing intestinal functionality, gut microbiota, and modulation of digestion and metabolism. Recent advancements in fiber nutrition and analytical methods have highlighted its significance in optimizing sow lifetime productivity and welfare through its impact on nutrient utilization and overall health. Growing evidence supports the benefits of dietary fiber in gestation diets, notably contributing to sow well-being by reducing stress
