The dietary guidelines are a set of suggestions designed to help people develop healthy eating habits and increase physical activity levels.

  • Use up at least as many calories as you take in.
  • Aim for at least 30 minutes of physical activity for adults but for young kids who are not fully grown 60 minutes
  • Eat a diet rich in vegetables and fruits.
  • Choose whole-grain, high-fiber foods.
  • Eat fish at least twice a week.
  • Limit how much saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol you eat.
  • Select fat-free, 1 percent fat, and low-fat dairy products.. but for children less than 2 they should get 2% milk unless they are a newborn
  • Cut back on foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils to reduce trans fat in your diet.
  • Cut back on beverages and foods high in calories and low in nutrition, such as soft drinks and foods with added sugar.
  • Choose and prepare foods with little or no salt.
