Every five years the US Department of Agriculture joins the Department of Health and Human Services to release
Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The 2010 Guidelines will be released later this year. A lot of research and review goes into these guidelines by an advisory committee. Although we have to wait a few more months for the final guidelines, the advisory committee released their preliminary findings. This year, the guidelines will focus on reducing dietary sodium, solid fats, and added sugars. The committee also urges Americans to add more plant based foods such as fruits and vegetables into the diet and suggests following the
2008 guidelines for physical activity.
