Do you know what the recommendations for fibre are?
Well, the crude fibre intake should be 14 g/1000 Kcal. For adult woman 25 g/day and for adult man 38 g/day is desirable.
Increase in fibre intake may lead to symptoms such as flalulence and abdominal distention. This can be relieved through use of inputs like sprouting, fermentation, proper distribution of high fibre foods throughout the day and adequate fluids. Bran and powdered supplements may be of help in individuals who do not eat sufficient amounts of fibrous foods.
