Glad to see scientific research that is informative, transparent, and accessible!

Great little intro & update regarding new research & the #dietaryguidelines.

🌾Did you know that diets low in whole grains are a leading dietary risk factor for ill-health, disability, and early death in Europe? Yet, overall whole grain intake remains alarmingly low. 💡 That’s why European Food Information Council (EUFIC) is launching Switch to Whole Grains, a 4-week challenge to inspire Europeans to embrace the health benefits of whole grains. 🤔 What are whole grains? Whole grains like oatmeal, quinoa, brown rice, and whole wheat contain all parts of the grain: the bran (fibre-rich outer layer), the germ (nutrient-packed core), and the endosperm (starchy centre). 🤔 Why switch to whole grains? ✅ Reduce your risk of diseases like colorectal cancer, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. ✅ Boost your intake of fibre, vitamins, and minerals. ✅ Add taste, texture, and sustainability to your meals. Ready to make the switch? 🍲 Join the 4-week challenge! 👉 Click to sign up and start your journey today! https://lnkd.in/dG7kipTT #HealthyEating #NutritionMatters #SustainableDiets #WholeGrainInitiative #HealthyLifestyle #FoodForHealth #EatWellLiveWell

✅ The Dietary Advisory Committee (DGAC) concluded its fifth public meeting yesterday, delivering a full day of updates and results. Here’s what you need to know! 🍟 New scientific work around ultra-processed food (UPF) was presented, with the Committee finding limited evidence suggesting a relationship between UPF and risk of overweight/obesity. 📝 The Committee found strong evidence on the association between specific dietary patterns and the risk cardiovascular disease, which holds true for diverse racial and ethnic groups.   📉 The data analysis team highlighted that Americans still do not adhere to the Dietary Guidelines recommendations and that the prevalence of nutrition-related chronic diseases remains notably high. 🌱 Projects related to alcoholic beverages and sustainability are progressing, with results expected in late 2024/early 2025.

A recent study found that nearly 60% of North Americans consume diets that promote inflammation, raising the risk of serious conditions like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Pro-inflammatory foods—such as processed meats, refined carbs, and excess sugar—can drive chronic inflammation, causing long-term harm to the body. Is your diet fueling inflammation or fighting it?

🥄 Higher salt intake is linked to elevated blood pressure, but the relationship varies with age, origin, and diet. A study by Dr. carlos heriberto garcia lithgow et al on Dominican adults shows Na and salt intakes exceed WHO recommendations while K intake is lower. As we continue to explore the impact of diet on health, how can we better tailor dietary recommendations to individual needs? https://lnkd.in/ePYmCGsn #SaltIntake #Hypertension #NutritionalHealth #PublicHealth #DietaryGuidelines

Exciting new research highlights the power of family dynamics in promoting healthy diets and improving health outcomes for those with chronic illnesses. The study, co-led by Ramya Ambikapathi and Morgan Boncyk, emphasizes that family food behaviors can be a key lever in achieving sustainable and healthy diets for all. Using HIV as a case study, the research introduces the Family Dynamics Food Environment Framework (FDF), which can inform future nutrition policies and interventions across various chronic illnesses. This work underscores the importance of viewing food not just as an individual choice but as a family-driven, social medium that can shape the health of current and future generations.
