In 1980, the first edition of the “Dietary Guidelines for Americans” was released by the United States Department of Agriculture with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
\nSince that time, the guidelines are updated every 5 years, reflecting new information about nutrition, food, physical activity and health. The goal of these guidelines is to improve our health.
\nThe 2010 edition included dietary guidelines for those who are at increased risk for chronic disease; nutrition-related diseases.
\n37 percent of Americans have cardiovascular disease.
\n34 percent of U.S. adults have hypertension.
\n36 percent have pre-hypertension.
\n11 percent of Americans age 20 and older have diabetes.
\n35 percent have pre-diabetes.
\n41 percent of the population will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime.
\n50 percent of women and 25 percent of men, 5 and older, will have osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime.
\n34 percent of American adults and 18 percent of adolescents are considered obese.
\nThose are some stunning statistics, aren’t they?
\nFood for thought. For the fully skinny from the U.S.D.A. read on<\/a>!
\nSpread the word … NOT the icing!
