The recommended daily intake of dietary fiber varies slightly across different regions and populations but generally falls within the range of 25-38 grams for adults. For children, the intake should be adjusted based on age. Despite these recommendations, current fiber intake in many populations is below the suggested levels. Increasing the consumption of whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables is essential to meet these dietary fiber recommendations and to harness the associated health benefits.
