Case Studies

In 1980, the United States Department of Health and Human Services and the United States Department of Agriculture established “The Dietary Guidelines for Americans”. These guidelines are published every 5 years and are based on scientific studies to generate a set of healthy recommendations to live by. The overall goal of the guidelines is to promote health and lower a person’s risk for certain diseases such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. They do this by encouraging a person to eat healthier foods and to become physically active most days of the week. Also, the guidelines advise that people balance the calories they are taking in with the calories that they expend in physical activity. learn more...
