Thanks for keeping us company for this Friday edition of Berlitz WordMaster! We'll finish this week with another one of those words we hear often, whenever people talk about nutrition. 

Enjoy!

Explanation

  • Fiber is a carbohydrate that the body cannot digest, but which helps the digestive system run smoothly. It is found in the cell walls of plants.
  • fiber (繊維質)は、消化されない炭水化物で、消化器の機能を高めるのに役立ちます。fiber は、植物の細胞壁に存在します。

examples

  1. Fruit, oats, and beans are all good sources of fiber.
  2. Because we eat so much processed food, Western diets are often too low in fiber.
  3. By eating white rice instead of brown rice, we lose a lot of the fiber.
  4. A high-fiber diet can help prevent some kinds of cancer.

Be good to yourself this weekend!
