During National Nutrition Month, the Alabama Department of Public Health joins the American Dietetic Association and other organizations in promoting personalized nutrition.
Nutrition is a key component of health.
Nutrition recommendations such as dietary guidelines and the Food Guide Pyramid are to be used as a framework for daily food choices that can be personalized to each individual's food preferences, nutritional needs, health status and lifestyle. Healthy eating helps you get the most out of life. A healthy lifestyle is the key to looking good, feeling great, and being the best you can be at work and play. It all starts with a healthful eating plan. The Food Guide Pyramid is a flexible framework that promotes healthy eating patterns by guiding daily food choices.
