The US government released its dietary guidelines this week. It
happens once every 5 years. The last version was in 2010. The highlights?

• Sugar continues to be the enemy. Sugar should only be 10% of your daily calories or less…and that’s not easy considering the average American diet.
• The limit on cholesterol has been removed – however, saturated fats should be avoided. Meaning, eggs are now an acceptable choice.
• Eating protein rich foods are important to maintain muscle mass as we age. However keep meats, especially processed ones, to a minimum.
• Fruits and vegetables are top priority – not only for health benefits, but for keeping you feeling full longer and increasing your fiber intake.
• Moderate levels of coffee, and wine, are ok and can have health benefits.
• Healthy fat is good.
• Keep the sodium in check.
• Choose from 3 healthy diets: American, Mediterranean & vegetarian.
• Find the balance that works for you.

Pop supports many of these principals – as they focus on a healthy eating pattern that is sustainable.
