experts at the Academy
of Nutrition
·
Personalize your eating
style:
The easiest way to get the nutrients your body needs is to eat healthy foods
you enjoy. Finding good-for-you foods that please your taste makes eating
healthfully special and exciting.
·
Eat for your lifestyle: Athletic,
vegetarian/vegan, corporate and family lifestyles all have special nutritional
needs, but eating right can be easy and
tasty with attention to those foods that best help get you through the day.
·
Incorporate cultural and
ethnic traditions:
Foods from around the globe often incorporate an abundance of unique, flavorful
and nourishing ingredients. Keep traditions alive and bring the world to your
family’s table.
·
Keep health concerns in
mind: A
healthful eating plan can help prevent and treat a variety of health concerns.
With some changes to recipes and a little self-control, you can still enjoy
many of your favorite foods while meeting your nutritional needs and health
goals.
·
Make MyPlate your plate: Fill half of your
plate with your favorite fruits and vegetables; keep protein portions lean and
about three ounces; make at least half of your grain choices whole grains; and
be sure to include low-fat or fat-free dairy.
As part of this public education campaign, the
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ National

includes a variety of helpful tips, fun
games, promotional tools and nutrition education resources, all designed to
spread the message of good nutrition around the “Eat Right, Your Way, Every
Day” theme.
