In previous articles, we have seen that about 100 trillion bacteria, both good and bad, live inside your digestive system, and collectively they're known as the gut microbiota. The number of bacteria present inside our digestive tract is approx. Ten times more than the total number of cells in our body. Every individual's gut microbiota is unique. An individual's food and lifestyle habits decide the type of bacteria Good (friendly) or Bad (Harmful) he/she will have in large number within the digestive tract. Subsequently, it also decides his or her health. If the number of Good (friendly) bacteria is more than that of a harmful (bad) one, it aids in maintaining good health.

आहार का तंतुमय पदार्थ वनस्पति का एक खाद्य भाग (एक तरह का मिश्र कार्बोहैड्रेट) है, जिसका पेट एवं छोटी आँत में पाचन नहीं होता परंतु बड़ी आँत में अंशत: खमीर होने लगता है। मानवी शरीर में, तंतुमय पदार्थ पूर्णरूप से पचा पानेवाले एनजाइम (किण्वक) नहीं होते। आहार में पाए जानेवाले तंतुमय पदार्थ बहुत कम कैलोरिक (ऊषमीय) मूल्य के होते हैं परन्तु पाचन मार्ग में अन्य खाद्य पदार्थों की अपेक्षा वे अधिक स्थान व्याप्त करते हैं, जिसके कारण पेट भर जाने का अहसास होता है और भूख की तृप्ति जल्दी होती है।
