SNAP-Ed New York can help you “Make Every Bite Count” with the New Dietary Guidelines for Americans
The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans have been released, and SNAP-Ed New York – Southern Finger Lakes Region is integrating the new science and recommendations of the Guidelines into their nutrition education programming.
Though the new Guidelines share some similarities to the previous ones, the 2020 Guidelines include some firsts, including specific nutrition recommendations across the lifespan, guidance on alcohol consumption, and an emphasis on adapting eating patterns to fit cultural traditions. One notable finding: When the 20 scientists on the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee reviewed all of the research, they found that health can be improved at any age with a healthy diet.
