All nutritional studies say it: we do not consume enough fiber. Only one woman out of 5 reaches the daily intake of 25 g recommended by the National Food Safety Agency (Anses).

To consume more fiber
– Increase your servings of fruit (with skin), vegetables and pulses.

– Add a handful of berries, almonds or nuts, to your bowl of morning cereal.
