1. Fiber

   Fiber or fibre (from Latin: fibra) is a natural or artificial substance that is significantly longer than it is wide. Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials. The strongest engineering materials often incorporate fibers, for example carbon fiber and ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. Synthetic fibers can often be produced very cheaply and in large amounts compared to natural fibers, but for clothing natural fibers can give some benefits, such as comfort, over their synthetic counterparts.

1. fiber

   Fiber is a complex carbohydrate found in plant-based foods that is indigestible by the human digestive system. It can be classified into two types: soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and can help lower blood glucose levels and cholesterol, while insoluble fiber promotes the movement of material through the digestive system. It's essential for healthy digestion and regular bowel movements, and can aid in weight management and the prevention of certain diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
