Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025: Recommendations from the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services

摘要

For people two years and older, healthy dietary patterns involve choosing nutrient-dense foods and beverages. Nutrient-dense foods provide vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients, and are lower in added sugar, saturated fat, and sodium (Table 1). At least one-half of food eaten should be fruits and vegetables, especially whole fruits and vegetables of a variety of colors. The core elements of the other half of food that should be eaten include grains, dairy, protein, and oils with lower saturated fat. At least one-half of grain servings should be whole grains. Minimize alcohol use and consumption of foods with added sugar, saturated fat, and sodium. Serving sizes on labels can be used to determine appropriate single portions.
