FIBER CONSUMPTION IN CHILDREN

by clinic

Do you think your child is getting enough fiber?

Recommended daily fiber consumption for adults is 25-30 grams. So how is this with children?

Daily consumption of 5 servings of fruit and vegetables is sufficient to meet fiber needs. For those who say they want it in grams, the American Pediatric Association has found an easy solution and said

▪️Your child’s age+5 = Daily fiber (grams) ▪️

This fiber Why is it so valuable?

It has a great effect on reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, especially the digestive system, and preventing cancer and obesity. It is rich in vitamins and minerals as well as helping to prevent constipation.

Our most important fiber sources are fruits and vegetables, but grained vegetables-beans/legumes, nuts and whole grain foods.

When we look at the label behind it, 5 gr or more should be written in front of the fiber price so that we can say that it is a perfect fiber source in packaged products. Our criterion for a good fiber source is that it contains 3 grams of fiber.

Let’s not believe the FIBER SOURCE texts on the packaging, let’s get conscious and read the label, my dear followers (it is written quickly under the carbohydrate measure).
