Fibre intake guidelines for youth and adults

Commonly found in fruits and vegetables, fibre is crucial for human health. Despite its various short- and long-term benefits, it is often underestimated. Current recommendations suggest a daily fibre intake of around 10 g/day for young children, increasing to about 20 g/day for adolescents.
