Avrupa bölgesindeki çoğu çocuğun yeterli meyve ve sebze tüketmediği ve bu durumun mikrobesin yetmezliğine yol açtığı bilinmektedir. İşte bazı ipuçları;
Sebze ve meyve tüketimi
Okul çağındaki çocuklar ve ergenlik dönemindekiler günlük 400g meyve ve sebze tüketimi hedefinin çok uzağında, yetersiz beslenmektedirler. Şaşırtıcı şekilde çocuklar sebzeden çok meyve yemeyi tercih etmekte. Araştırmacılar, bunun sebebini meyvenin daha tüketime hazır şekilde bulunmasından dolayı ve daha tatlı olmasından dolayı gerçekleştiğini düşünmekte.
