Document Summary

2010 dietary guidelines for americans: balance calories with physical activity to manage weight. Consume more of certain foods and nutrients, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fat-free and low-fat dairy products, and seafood. Consume fewer foods with sodium, saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, added sugars, and refined grains. These guidelines steer clear of a rigid prescription and, instead, promote an array of healthful options that can accommodate cultural, ethnic, traditional, and personal preferences, as well as food cost and availability factors. Abundance of vegetables and fruits, emphasis on whole grains, and moderate amounts and varied sources of protein-rich foods, limited added sugars and solid fats, a high proportion of unsaturated fats compared to saturated, high potassium, and lower sodium. Body weight is determined by the balance between calories consumed (from foods and beverages) and calories expended (through physical activity and metabolic processes). Foods to reduce: typical american diets contain too much sodium, solid fats, added sugars, and refined grains.
