    WHO recommends consuming 30 grams of fiber per day

    Healthcare 4 March 2025 1617

    Fiber improves intestinal motility, helps to avoid constipation and maintains the balance of microflora. Studies show that people who consume about 30 grams of fiber per day are less likely to experience gastrointestinal diseases, including irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulosis.

    Reducing the risk of chronic diseases

    • 30 grams of fiber daily is associated with:
    • reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases (by 24-30%);
    • normalization of blood sugar levels, which reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes;
    • protection against certain types of cancer (for example, colorectal).

    Improvement of weight and metabolism

    These 30 grams help control appetite, promote weight loss through satiety, and slow down the absorption of sugars, which stabilizes glucose levels.

    Prevention of inflammation

    Diets high in fiber reduce systemic inflammation in the body, which is associated with slowing aging and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.

    Real benefits for everyday life

    According to research, increasing fiber intake by just 8 grams per day reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by 19%! If you get up to 30 grams daily, it significantly improves your health in the long run.

    But! The average person consumes only 15-18 grams of fiber per day, which is almost 2 times less than the norm. To get to the minimum 30 g, it is important to include not only vegetables in the diet, but also berries, legumes, seeds and whole grains.
