What was fashion like after World War 2?

According to a recent report from the NPD Group, a company that provides consumer and retail market research information for a wide range of industries, the top five nutrients that Americans search for on Nutrition Facts labels are whole grains, dietary fiber, calcium, vitamin C, and protein. Here is a guide to better understand each nutrient.

Whole grains are the latest advertising buzzword, so it is no wonder Americans are searching for this on food labels. These carbohydrate sources are rich in fiber, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals and hundreds of phytochemicals that are being studied for human health. For example, switching from refined grains to whole grains has been shown to normalize blood sugar levels in diabetics. It also may help with satiety, causing us to eat less and be better able to manage weight. However, “whole grains” as a nutrient is not listed on the Nutrition Facts label, so consumers need to look elsewhere on a packaged product to find this information.

A whole grain is a cereal grain that contains all parts of the grain kernel, including the germ, endosperm and bran. This is in contrast to a “refined grain” that has been milled to remove the germ and the bran. The germ is the portion of the whole grain kernel that provides antioxidants, vitamin E, and B vitamins. The endosperm contains primarily carbohydrate and protein. The bran, or outer shell of the grain, contains fiber, B vitamins and some trace minerals.

Dietary fiber is a relatively easy nutrient to find on most Nutrition Facts labels. Look under the major heading “Carbohydrates”. Fiber is a non-digestible carbohydrate found in plant foods, primarily fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. It is a beneficial nutrient for digestive health, Heart disease risk, Diabetes and weight management, and could possibly help lower the risk of some types of cancer.

American adults need at least 25 to 30 grams of fiber each day. Some research indicates that we only get about half this much because of our high consumption of refined carbohydrate sources and lowered consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, not getting enough of the mineral, particularly early in life while bones and teeth are forming and growing, can have a profound impact on health. The average person loses 400-500 milligrams of calcium each day through metabolic processes, and if the diet is low in calcium, there may not be sufficient amounts to return to the bones leading to degenerative bone diseases such as osteopenia and osteoporosis.

An adult over the age of 19 (but less than 50) needs 1000 milligrams per day of calcium. Those over 50 need at least 1200 milligrams, according to the Adequate Intake (AI) set by the Food and Nutrition Board at the Institute of Medicine.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin needed for many body functions. It is required for the growth and repair of tissues, including collagen, cartilage, bones, and blood vessels. It is also important for the healing of wounds, as an antioxidant to protect the body from free radical damage, and for the maintenance of the immune system. Natural food sources that contain vitamin C include green peppers, citrus fruits and juices, strawberries, broccoli, tomatoes, leafy greens, sweet and white potatoes, and melons. The FNB recommends 75 milligrams per day for adult women and 90 milligrams per day for adult men.

Protein is another essential nutrient for the growth and repair of body tissue. Protein deficiency in the United States is very rare, although some may state otherwise. To meet most people’s daily need for protein, a person needs only to consume two daily servings (six ounces) of a protein-rich food source such as lean beef, chicken, fish, dairy, eggs, nuts and seeds, or legumes.

A person’s need for protein is based on many factors, but in general, protein should comprise 10-35% of the daily calories consumed. Another way to calculate your protein needs is to take your weight in pounds (if you are overweight, make the calculation based on your ideal weight for your height) and divide by 2.2 to find your weight in kilograms. Then multiply this number by 0.8 or 1.0. This is the number of grams of protein to consume over the course of the day.
