It’s Fibre February!

We all need to increase the amount of fibre in our diet. This article provides ideas for ways in which you and your pupils can learn more about fibre, this Fibre February!

In the UK, no age group is currently consuming the recommended amount of dietary fibre, and in the vast majority of each age group, intakes are well below daily recommendations. When you focus on school pupils, only 14% of 4-10 year olds and 4% of 11-18 year olds are eating the recommended amount of fibre – so there’s definitely room for improvement.
