In recent times, health has become an unavoidable concern. Obesity, hypertension, sleeplessness, anxiety, depression, and allergies are all common problems in today's society. According to previous research, diet is a very important component that impacts human health, in combination with lifestyle, occupation, and the spatial and temporal environment in which individuals live. Secondary metabolites produced by the fermentation of undigested food residues in the host large intestine, particularly the colon, have been shown to have different impacts on lipid metabolism, blood pressure, sleep, and emotions. Furthermore, evidence suggests that unbalanced dietary components, particularly dietary fiber, promote an imbalance in gut microbiota, which is the important cause of a wide range of health disorders. As a result, one of the most pressing scientific concerns is clarifying the dynamic changes in gut microbial communities in various internal conditions. Currently, the question of how to regulate and improve people's gut microbiota through a healthy diet and other variables has been a popular topic.
This research topic is designed specifically for the theme of “regulating human health via gut microbiota through dietary fiber” to examine many recent research reports on how to improve the imbalance of human gut microbiota through food or functional factors to promote health, and present sound theoretical and application prospects. We welcome research that includes, but are not limited to, the following aspects:
· Dietary fiber compounds and their bioactivity to gut microbiota from the plant-, algae- and fungi-derived food (including fruits, seaweeds, etc.)
· Natural compound fiber analogs in biomedicine-role to gut microbiome
· Bioactive dietary fiber compounds, chronic diseases, and gut microbiota nexus: opportunities and challenges
· Implications on the function of natural polysaccharides attenuate lipid metabolism, blood pressure, and hormone secretion via modulating the gut microbiota
