HEALTHY DIET
A healthy eating pattern is one that provides enough of each essential nutrient from nutrient-dense foods, contains a variety of foods from all of the basic food groups, and focuses on balancing calories consumed with calories expended to help you achieve and sustain a healthy weight. This eating pattern limits intake of solid fats, sugar, salt (sodium) and alcohol. Additional information on the Dietary Guidelines for Indians is available at https://www.nin.res.in/downloads/DietaryGuidelinesforNINwebsite.pdf. I would like to get advice about my eating habits. Who should I talk to?
How many servings should i take?
The number of servings you need each day from each food group depends on your calorie needs.
How much nutrient is too much?
The Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) defines the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) as the highest level of daily nutrient intake that is likely to pose no risk of adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the general population. This level is different for each nutrient.
