Document Summary
Eating for the sake of blood pressure, not necessary. We must modify food patterns do we don"t over consume. Ex: previously grocery stores didn"t use to deliver, now they do, so it makes it easier. Bigger the arch, the more you should consume. On average we"re now less physically active. Much less of a half-life in terms of insulin if you consume simple sugars instead of starch. Same size/calories has to do with whether it"s a simple or a complex carbohydrate. Key points: age 2 years and older. Anyone suffering from severe illness doesn"t qualify for these recommendations. The older you are the more servings you require. Not the same as balance are you getting 50% or 110%, what"s the level of nutrient you"re consuming. Moderation: don"t lean towards one particular food source (ex: not just chicken breast for protein) Mechanical: process of breaking food down by chewing.
