Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Examining the Evidence to Define Benefit Adequacy. Washington DC : National Academies Press US ; Apr The Dietary Guidelines for Americans, USDA and HHS, provide U. The Dietary Guidelines are designed to be used in developing educational materials and to serve as a resource for policy makers in the design and implementation of nutrition-related programs, including federal nutrition assistance and education programs. The Dietary Guidelines also serve as the basis for consumer information intended to facilitate and promote healthy eating and physical activity so as to support normal growth and development and reduce the risk for diet-related chronic disease. The Dietary Guidelines recognize that a major obstacle to meeting nutritional needs among a growing proportion of American households nearly 15 percent is the inability to acquire adequate foods to meet their needs, while other Americans consume too few of certain nutrients even though they have the resources to obtain a healthy diet. The Dietary Guidelines further identify a concurrent issue: food components commonly consumed in excess by individuals across life stages that may increase the risk of chronic disease. These components include sodium, solid fats, added sugars, and refined grains. Replacing nutrient-dense foods with these components creates a challenge to achieving recommended nutrient intake and calorie control. Evidence cited in the Dietary Guidelines shows that more than half the added sugars in the American diet come from a handful of foods: sugar-sweetened soft drinks, energy drinks, and sports drinks Unlike other food components that contribute excess calories, these products contribute to intake of calories but provide no essential nutrients. Thus the Dietary Guidelines strongly recommend reducing consumption of calories from added sugars. Individuals should meet the following recommendations as part of a healthy eating pattern while staying within their caloric needs: Turn recording back on. National Library of Medicine.

Control total calorie intake to manage body weight. For people who are overweight or obese, this will mean consuming fewer calories from foods and beverages. Maintain appropriate calorie balance during each stage of life—childhood, adolescence, adulthood, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and older age. Foods and Food Components to Reduce Reduce daily sodium intake to less than 2, milligrams mg , and further reduce intake to 1, mg among persons who are 51 and older and those of any age who are African American or have hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease. The 1, mg recommendation applies to about half of the U. Consume less than 10 percent of calories from saturated fatty acids by replacing them with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Keep trans fatty acid consumption as low as possible by limiting foods that contain synthetic sources of trans fats, such as partially hydrogenated oils, and by limiting other solid fats. Limit the consumption of foods that contain refined grains, especially refined-grain foods that contain solid fats, added sugars, and sodium. If alcohol is consumed, it should be consumed in moderation—up to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men—and only by adults of legal drinking age. Foods and Nutrients to Increase Individuals should meet the following recommendations as part of a healthy eating pattern while staying within their caloric needs: Increase fruit and vegetable intake. Eat a variety of vegetables, especially dark-green and red and orange vegetables and beans and peas. Consume at least half of all grains as whole grains. Increase whole-grain intake by replacing refined grains with whole grains. Increase intake of fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, such as milk, yogurt, cheese, or fortified soy beverages. Choose a variety of protein foods, which include seafood, lean meat and poultry, eggs, beans and peas, soy products, and unsalted nuts and seeds. Increase the amount and variety of seafood consumed by choosing seafood in place of some meat and poultry. Choose foods that provide more potassium, dietary fiber, calcium, and vitamin D, which are nutrients of concern in American diets. These foods include vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and milk and milk products. Women capable of becoming pregnant should Choose foods that supply heme iron, which is most readily absorbed by the body; additional iron sources; and enhancers of iron absorption, such as vitamin C—rich foods. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should Consume 8 to 12 ounces of seafood per week from a variety of seafood types. Because of their high methyl mercury content, limit white albacore tuna to 6 ounces per week, and do not eat the following four types of fish: tilefish, shark, swordfish, and king mackerel. If pregnant, take an iron supplement, as recommended by an obstetrician or other health care provider. Individuals aged 50 and older should Consume foods fortified with vitamin B 12 , such as fortified cereals, or dietary supplements. Building a Healthy Eating Pattern Select an eating pattern that meets nutrient needs over time at an appropriate calorie level. Account for all foods and beverages consumed and assess how they fit within a total healthy eating pattern. Follow food safety recommendations when preparing and eating foods to reduce the risk of foodborne illness. REFERENCE USDA and HHS U. Department of Agriculture and U.
