Fiber guidelines for children
"Age + 5," is a dietitian's rule of thumb for the daily fiber needs of
children ages 3 to 18, say nutritionists at the USDA/ARS Children's Nutrition
Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
"To calculate a child's daily fiber requirements, add the child's age
to the number five," said Dr. Karen Cullen. For example, an 8-year-old
needs 13 grams of fiber a day.
Eating the recommended minimum five or more servings of fruit and vegetables
and one or more serving of whole-grain food each day is a healthy way for
kids get all the fiber they need.
Other fiber-filled tips include:
· Look for the word "whole" before the name of the grain on food
labels and ingredient lists. Some brown-hued breads are simply white bread
with coloring.
· Leave the peeler in the drawer when preparing potatoes.
· Served blended fresh, canned or frozen fruit as smoothies.
· Keep ready-to-eat "dip-able" vegetables on child-accessible
shelves in the refrigerator.
· Toss extra vegetables and into soups. Sprinkle beans or lentils
on salads.
