| Phrase | fiber |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "fiber" means the part of a plant that is eaten, but is more difficult to digest: "Foods like celery and kale have a lot of fiber, which make them low in calories and very filling." The word "fiber" also refers to the threads used to make clothing or rope: "These wool fibers are irritating my skin." Or, "Please dye these nylon fibers to match the color of the leaves." The phrase "nerve fibers" or "muscle fibers" refers to small pieces within one's body, used to transmit signals or messages: "Chronic pain patients have to learn to retrain their nerve fibers." Finally, the phrase "with every fiber of (one's) being" means very strongly, especially when describing emotions: "She loves him with ever fiber of her being." |
