"Nutritional Expert's Warning: The Overlooked Risk of Fiber Deficiency"
A survey reveals that only one in five Britons are aware of the daily fibre recommendation, leading to a "fibre gap" and leaving millions at risk of preventable chronic conditions, including bowel cancer and heart disease. Despite the average intake of fibre being only 20 grams, the recommendation is to consume 30 grams a day. Eating plenty of fibre can reduce the risk of health problems and promote friendly gut bacteria, but awareness and effort to achieve the recommended intake are crucial in closing the fibre gap.
