Description
Seyed Athari and six co-authors test whether a high-fiber diet protects rats pushed through hard exercise, in a 2025 study. Intense training can stir inflammation and oxidative stress, which strain the body. Fiber feeds gut microbes and may calm those effects. Thirty-two male rats were split into four groups: rest or training, each on a normal or a high-fiber diet. Training ran at near-maximal effort five days a week for eight weeks.
The fiber diet raised total fiber sharply, mostly from wheat bran. Blood measures tracked stress damage and inflammation, and gut microbe samples came from the cecum. The trained rats on fiber fared better on several stress markers than trained rats on the normal diet. The work hints at diet plans that could help athletes under heavy loads.
