This research article investigates the association between dietary fiber, protein, and fat with manganese content in food. Manganese is an essential micronutrient involved in various physiological processes, and its dietary intake is crucial for maintaining optimal health. The study aimed to uncover the relationship between dietary fiber, protein, and fat and the manganese content in different food sources. Methods involved the analysis of a diverse range of food samples for their manganese content and determination of their dietary fiber, protein, and fat composition. Statistical analyses were performed to examine the associations. The results elucidate the significant influence of dietary fiber, protein, and fat on the manganese content in various foods. The findings provide valuable insights into the factors affecting manganese intake through dietary choices. Understanding this link can contribute to optimizing manganese intake and promoting overall health and well-being.
